An absolute gem of a place! The location is fantastic, a short 3-4 minute walk from Burriana Beach with its bars and restaurants. Our apartment was well-appointed and spacious, really clean and with good facilities. There is a supermarket (bit pricey but good choice) 3 mins walk away and a really nice bar halfway (we recommend El Fuego as a great spot for watching sports!). The garden and pool are perfect - tranquil, crystal-clear for swimming and a lovely place to unwind under the fixed cabana umbrellas. To get to the main part of Nerja with its bustlin streets, restaurants and the Balcon de Europe does involve a steep-ish initial walk for 2-3 mins but thereafter it's all on a level and within 12-15 mins youre in the heart of town. The main Nerja Bus station is a 15-20 min walk, again up an incline, but offers great options for excursions. We took a bus to beautiful Frigilia in the mountains and to the shopping centre and cinema at El Ingenio via Torres del Mar. Some things to be aware of: most Nerja nightlife is up in town. Burriana is lovely during the day but a bit quiet at night for teens. The apartments looking out towards the pool are quieter than the ones at the back, where you're next to a small roundabout (some noise from mopeds etc). The beach itself is a fine shingle rather than sand, but the water is lovely. Burriana is hugely popular so book a sunbed the afternoon before the day you want it! We visited as a family of 4 with teenage children and I would heartily recommend Almoraide as a great place for a summer holiday in Spain.
