It is "the place" to see in Nerja. You can sit and just enjoy the movements of the see. you can enjoy outdoor restaurant service.

Beautiful to sit down (plenty of public benches, and lots and lots of bars, ice cream shops and restaurants) and gaze out into the Mediterranean Sea, or onto the square for some people-watching.
