If you want to make a stop on your journey and get to know the east coast of Malaga better, you can moor your boat in the harbour of Caleta de Vélez, and get off to see some of the most beautiful white villages in Andalusia. Near the harbour of Caleta de Vélez, and a few kilometres inland, you will find the municipality of Vélez Malaga, with excellent views of the Mediterranean from the mountains.
Go ashore for a day or a few hours and get to know some of the unique places in Andalusia, such as the villages of Frigiliana and Nerja. Frigiliana is located in the heart of the nature reserve, more than 300 metres above sea level. It has the typical characteristics of an Andalusian white village with a Moorish heritage, and is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Spain.
The proximity of Caleta de Vélez and Nerja also allows you to discover the charms of this locality. Nerja is a very interesting and touristic place, for its magnificent beaches and the peculiar charm of this Mediterranean village, besides the famous Caves of Nerja, a cave with 5 kilometres of galleries that do not leave indifferent to anyone who visits them. We can also find here the Balcón de Europa, a beautiful viewpoint that is in the centre of town and is the scene of concerts and plays during the summer, in addition to countless bars and a constant bustle.
Likewise, from Caleta de Vélez you will be able to enjoy a beautiful route by sea, either in your private boat or in your charter boat. From Caleta you can book a boat, motorboat or catamaran to go for a walk along the beautiful coastline of the area. If you sail eastwards from the harbour you will cross on your way with the old Torrox lighthouse, which is more than 30 metres high and which stands out from the rest of the landscape. If you continue sailing eastwards, passing in front of the beautiful Balcón de Europa in Nerja, you will soon reach the beautiful cliffs of Maro and Cerro Gordo, considered a nature park and protected area, which offers a beautiful landscape of steep cliffs, alternating with beautiful coves with totally crystalline waters.
