Almuñecar Malaga
Beyond Nerja the road climbs inland, running high above the coast until it surfaces at La Herradura, a fishing village-resort suburb of Almuñecar, which is a good place to stop off and swim, and which has three seafront summer campsites. Almuñecar itself is marred by a number of towering holiday apartments, though if you have been unable to find a room in Nerja you might want to stay here for a night. The rocky beaches're rather cramped and have grey sand, but the esplanade behind them, with palm-roofed bars, many offering free tapas, and restaurants, is fun, and the old town attractive.
