The attraction offers a beautiful view of the Mediterranean Sea and the breathtaking southern and northern coastline of the Costa del Sol. Access to the balcony is via a pedestrian promenade with palm trees. On the promenade there are several monuments and seats.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-886\" src=\"https:\/\/nerja-costa-del-sol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/balcon-de-europa-promenade.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nerja-costa-del-sol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/balcon-de-europa-promenade.jpg 700w, https:\/\/nerja-costa-del-sol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/balcon-de-europa-promenade-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nerja-costa-del-sol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/balcon-de-europa-promenade-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/nerja-costa-del-sol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/balcon-de-europa-promenade-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/nerja-costa-del-sol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/balcon-de-europa-promenade-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/nerja-costa-del-sol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/balcon-de-europa-promenade-560x420.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At the end of the promenade you come to the viewing platform, which is about 60 metres above sea level.

If you&#8217;re sweating, you can cool off with a scoop of ice cream at the ice cream parlours opposite. Just the thing in the summer heat. The prices at the ice cream parlours at Balc\u00f3n de Europa are a bit expensive, but they taste really good.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_beaches_at_the_Balcon_de_Europa\"><\/span>The beaches at the Balc\u00f3n de Europa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Balcon de Europa borders on the beaches of El Salon and Calahonda. Both are easily accessible by foot. Both are small, but offer a magnificent backdrop of steep cliffs, fishermen&#8217;s cottages and boats. Rocks around the balcony decorate the beach. Take some time and discover the beautiful corners you can find there. You can find more information about the beaches in my article <a href=\"https:\/\/nerja-costa-del-sol.com\/en\/vacation\/the-most-beautiful-beaches-in-nerja\/\">These are the most beautiful beaches in Nerja<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Center_for_events_and_artists\"><\/span>Center for events and artists<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Every year thousands of people visit the Balc\u00f3n de Europa. The place is the central contact point for events and performances in Nerja. For every important event you will find a suitable decoration or event at the Balc\u00f3n de Europa. At the Feria de Nerja, the folk festival in Nerja, for example, traditional flamenco performances take place at the Balc\u00f3n de Europa. The Balc\u00f3n de Europa is also the centre of many religious events because of the church opposite El Salvador. At Christmas a small market can be visited and at New Year&#8217;s Eve the big New Year celebration with fireworks takes place. As it is the busiest place in Nerja, artists and musicians regularly come to the balcony. The crowds at the sight are entertained with talented music performances or interesting show interludes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_origin_and_history_of_the_Balcon_de_Europa\"><\/span>The origin and history of the Balc\u00f3n de Europa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before the Balcon de Europa became a tourist attraction there was a military fortress at this place.&nbsp;The place was ideal to ward off attacks from enemies.&nbsp;Cannons still remind of the protective function of the viewing platform. In 1884, a violent earthquake shook large parts of the Axarqu\u00eda. The earthquake caused many deaths in the region and destroyed most of the houses in Nerja. On this occasion, the current King Alfonso XII visited the city of Nerja and introduced the balcony with a moving speech.&nbsp;As a souvenir, there is a bronze statue on the balustrade of the balcony. The life-size King Alfonso XII is the favourite of tourists and group photos.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-888\" src=\"https:\/\/nerja-costa-del-sol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/balcon-de-europa-alfonso.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nerja-costa-del-sol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/balcon-de-europa-alfonso.jpg 700w, https:\/\/nerja-costa-del-sol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/balcon-de-europa-alfonso-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nerja-costa-del-sol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/balcon-de-europa-alfonso-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/nerja-costa-del-sol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/balcon-de-europa-alfonso-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/nerja-costa-del-sol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/balcon-de-europa-alfonso-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/nerja-costa-del-sol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/balcon-de-europa-alfonso-560x420.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Many other souvenirs of the Balcon de Europa remind us of the history of Nerja. On the promenade, for example, you can find a statue of the discovery of the caves of Nerja. Another statue can be found at the passage below the Balc\u00f3n de Europa. There you can see the fisherman Chanquete, who is looking at the beach Calahonda. The fisherman comes from the Spanish series Verano Azul, which was shot in the 80s in Nerja. Besides Chanquete you will find many other souvenirs of the series. The biggest is probably the fishing boat at the Park Verano Azul.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3207\" src=\"https:\/\/nerja-costa-del-sol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/schiff-verano-azul-nerja.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nerja-costa-del-sol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/schiff-verano-azul-nerja.jpg 700w, https:\/\/nerja-costa-del-sol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/schiff-verano-azul-nerja-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nerja-costa-del-sol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/schiff-verano-azul-nerja-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/nerja-costa-del-sol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/schiff-verano-azul-nerja-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/nerja-costa-del-sol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/schiff-verano-azul-nerja-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/nerja-costa-del-sol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/schiff-verano-azul-nerja-560x420.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Location_and_parking_facilities\"><\/span>Location and parking facilities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Balcon de Europa can be reached on foot and is located in the centre of the old town.
