The news for the tourism sector is encouraging. Despite the airline strikes, the virus, the war conflicts in the world and the constant warning that winter is going to make everything worse.
National and international tourists continue to choose Nerja for their holidays. Malaga in general is a perfect destination to spend the summer, spend a few days or enjoy with the family for a week.
