On foot
The centre of Nerja is small enough to be able to be seen by walking around though you will find yourself walking up or down a gradual hill much of the time. Park your car in one of the car parks and get out and have a wander! As such the town has no city centre, having shops, banks, bars and eateries scattered through.
By car
There are two large central carparks. One is situated off Calle La Cruz, right in the middle of town, which charges a reasonable rate per hour. There is a larger car park off Prol Carabeo, which is 5 mins walk from the town centre, this is the one that all the locals use as they only pay 7 euros per month. Charges were introduced at this car park on 08 June 2011, and it is now very expensive for visitors. Even in the winter months, street parking can be very difficult in the town's narrow and sometimes one-way streets which can be no parking because they are too narrow.
