Directions

The Mirador del Bendito is one of the most beautiful natural balconies in Nerja. Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, it offers spectacular views of the coast and has earned a reputation as an ideal place to watch the sunset or simply relax while enjoying the scenery of Málaga.

Its privileged location, very close to the famous Balcón de Europa and to beaches as well known as Burriana, naturally makes it part of any walk along the town’s coastline. It is also one of the favourite spots for photographers and artists, drawn by the light and the breadth of its panoramic views.

Stopping at the Mirador del Bendito is a way of treating yourself to a moment of calm in front of the sea. Perfect for a stroll, outdoor exercise or finding the best shot, this viewpoint captures the coastal charm that makes Nerja such a special destination.

Beside the viewpoint, a flight of steps leads down to Carabeillo Beach, a small cove joined to Burriana Beach: from up here you can see whether there is space before going down. The viewpoint is at the end of Calle Carabeo, about a 7-minute walk from the Balcón de Europa.
