5. Cueva de Nerja
Nerja Caves are at some distance from Malaga city but very close to the Balcon de Europa so if you visit one of the two, you can visit the other at one go.
If you go during the summer it is a good idea to plan the day in Nerja and enjoy some of its beaches.

7. Gaitanes Gorge and Caminito del Rey
If you decide to visit Ronda (you should not miss it), along the way you will pass by the Gaitanes Gorge.
To visit the Caminito del Rey you need to have a reservation.
If you decide to spend the day in the area you can eat in the restaurant El Mirador de Ardales, in El Kiosko or in the Bar La Cantina. From there you have access to fantastic hiking trails, one of them after a tunnel that crosses the mountain.
Do not forget your camera or you’ll regret it.
