Nerja Travel Forum

Hi Folks,
Will be holidaying for two weeks over Xmas in Nerja. My partner and I are keen birdwatchers and wonder if there are any local guides/companies that provide jeep tours etc that we could book to birdwatch in the area?
Will NOT have own transport and dependent on guide providing same.
Would be very grateful for any assistance in finding guide/company to contact.
Thank you in anticipation.

You should make your first port of call the Tourist Information Office - they are very helpful - hours of opening likely to be restricted that time of year. It is close to the Balcon.
Around the corner on Calle Almirante Ferrandiz, near the post office but down a small arcade of shops you will find WH Smiffs (that is correct!)
It is English owned, stocks English language newspapers, cards and always had a good selection of walks in the area. These were mostly, but not all, organiased by British ex-pats. It is possible they would also know about bird watching groups.

Although she lives more inland from Nerja, I can highly recommend Doreen Cage who gives birdwatching tours with transport.

I have just learned that the Tourist office re-opened a few days ago in much larger premises within the Town Hall (Ayuntamiento). That is almost opposite the Balcon near the Arch that leads to the main car park - unless that has changed too!

Hi Christine,
Many Thanks for the info - will try Doreen.
Please excuse late response, I have been away from home - birdwatching!
Thanks again,
Kind Regards
Richard
