Long time no chats it feels like guys , so I'm back from holidays the blues are kicking in so I said id sit down and write about my Brothers gorgeous wedding in a fabulous place called Nerja .There wedding took place on Friday 22nd of September
, they used a great wedding planner called Sonia who carried out her duties so well on that day and had no one stressed out and kept us informed all the way to the very end , so anyone wanting to plan a wedding away give Sonia a shout .
Nerja is a popular coastal town situated about 60 kilo meters away from Malaga. If you have young kids it potentially isn't for you as there is not a lot catered for the young kiddies except Aqua land which is an hour Journey away in Torremolinos ,but if your a young couple looking for good nightlife or in your mature years seeking sun and relaxation then Nerja is your spot , a side note Taxi's are an effort to hunt down so always make sure to pre book them if you know you need one or if you've trouble walking . .
It's Idyllic scenery would leave you speechless with the view from The Balcon De Europa , which gives a sea front view and is a central meeting area in the heart of the town , where the locals have there businesses and stands to draw in the tourists with the unique sense of fashion and baskets woven in front of your eyes .

The inside of the church is cool as fans are supplied with Nerja reaching heights of 29 degrees in late September they were well needed believe me was SWEATING .
The ceremony was approx 25 minutes long just enough and then a short walk to the coaches where we were brought to Torre San Juan a great venue with spectacular views for a wedding.
They would leave your jaw on the ground . After a smooth advance to a delicious three course meal , We danced the night away till 4 am where the cool sea breeze was enough to settle us as we got taxi's back to our apartments a mere 10 minutes away . A truly great day spent with fantastic people , I wish my brother and my new sister in law all the happiness in the world
I stayed in the Stella Maris Apartments which were located right on the beech front about 10 minutes walk from the town square . A great price for a clean apartment with private pool it was very quiet so be great for relaxing . .

As the holiday progressed the weather still shinning we got to explore a bit more of Nerja , the shopping in the town is decent especially for make up and perfumes its so cheap compared to home . Fashion is a little bit more tricky but there is a few gems you just have to search plus the jewellery is to die for so many interesting pieces you would struggle to just buy one. Jut bare in mind most shops take siestas between 2-5pm so you can shop in the mornings and late at night whilst still going to the pool in the evening , its the life .

Night life is very energetic our favourite spot was Fitzgerald's or FyyyGs as we named it , an Irish bar with a pub singer till 1am then that's when the fun began Karaoke till 6 am in the bloody morning but was worth every second a real sociable bar with lovely staff and great banter .
Another good spot is La Casita , a local man Thomas owns this bar he caters to the clients needs , while having very reasonable prices and a lovely rooftop terrace , located in the narrowest of streets its a lock in job so we will say no more hahaha.
Of course we found a Buskers and a Temple Bar everyone loves the Irish , If you love your cocktails the Buddha bar is the place to go were the jazz up your glass with decorative butterflies .
One of my favourite things about holidays is the FOOD , I am a very plain eater but the food in Nerja was cooked so nice and the prices to eat and drink was for little or nothing .
Pinocchio's , with two different entrances a very busy spot but there Lasagna is worth the wait , Italian based food ,but for a good dinner before a night out on the tiles it is well worth it . Along with its Pinocchio inspired decor to keep the kids interested.
If you love Mexican Cielito linds is your spot to hit , with never trying Mexican before the staff were so lovely and helped pick a great selection of food which was mouth wateringly good I wish i had of went to it sooner , it brings a lot of life at night time with its lights and festive music , its a must see if you visit here .
Burriana beech is a popular destination located under Balcon de Europa its sand sun and fun all the way , the water is ice cold but when the sun is reaching over 30 degrees its lovely after about 5 seconds :) , the beech offers jet ski's , banana boats and para gliding which I would have loved to do but my family were all too afraid so next time .
Cochran's and Mar Bella bar are good spots to hit as well as the scenery is just amazing and the drinks keep flowing . Overall I would return to Nerja in a hear beat as the culture is lovely , the people are kind plus the food is great , I'm so lucky to have visited there with close family and friends to celebrate two families coming together .
After experiencing weddings done at home and abroad I don't know which I'd personally prefer , your home is your home and Ireland has many beautiful spots to say I do but then a wedding away seems a bit more stress free and gives you a little bit more for your money , But first I need to be engaged before I start thinking of that LOL . who knows might elope :)
