The now famous called Balcón de Europa de Nerja was formerly the Paseo la Bateria, a defensive fort from which enemies that could arrive from North Africa were sighted, to prevent attacks and assaults by pirate ships.

The Balcón de Europa is that beautiful viewpoint located in the center of Nerja. One of the most famous places in Andalusia. An idyllic place to take a panoramic photograph of the Mediterranean Sea. or to pose next to the famous statue of King Alfonso XII.

Near the town hall is the beautiful viewing platform - the Balcón de Europa. It is about 60 meters above sea level and offers a breathtaking view of the entire Mediterranean Sea.
