Go to Aquavelis Water Park if you're looking for a fantastic experience. Being quite a small complex consisting of 7 water rides, it is surprisingly spacious and cozy. Slides are designed for both the smallest and older children. There is a picnic area on-site, so don't forget to bring some food with you. It is worth noting that the park is very well maintained and clean, and going down the slides makes all kids scream and laugh. If the water park alone is not enough, head to Piscina Y Pabellón Cubiertos - a good place for swimming and playing sports.

In Nerja (or rather, in the vicinity of the city), you can find another water park called Aquatropic. The complex is equally well maintained and provides slides suitable for both children and parents. It is noteworthy that its pools are filled with seawater, and the water park itself is beautifully decorated in the style of a tropical paradise: taking sunbaths lying under palm trees brings an incomparable experience. Kids will be offered a lot of zones, including pools of different depths, interesting slides, and a playground. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

It must be said that mother nature has generously endowed Nerja with many natural attractions. Together with the kids, it'd be fun to go down to the Cueva de Nerja - an amazing place that made the city famous. Many people remember it first of all at the mention of Nerja. This is a series of caverns stretching for about 5 kilometers. Ancient drawings of animals discovered inside are exactly what most tourists expect to find here. It is also noteworthy that the Festival Cueva de Nerja takes place in July in one of the halls where famous Spanish performers and dancers entertain the audience.

Not far from the cave is Jardín Botánico Detunda-Cueva de Nerja, another place worth visiting. You can come here to complete your acquaintance with the cave or before it. Many interesting specimens of plants and flowers grow in the garden, but every family member would be most exciting about walking around it. Well, Cascada de Maro Waterfall is often called an ideal place for dreamers. The landscapes strike the imagination, and don’t even ask about how they affect the youngest travelers. The only caveat is that all family members need to be careful and wear comfortable sports shoes to walk on steep slopes.
