Parque Verano Azul, behind the Supersol supermarket at the western end of Nerja , is well worth a wander. There are petanque courts, a children's play area, lots of nice trees and plants, a replica of the famous 'La Dorada' boat from the old TV series 'Verano Azul', a statue made from stones donated by all the EU member states.....

 

The fishing boat 'La Dorada', made famous in the 1980's TV series 'Verano Azul', was the abode of the old seawolf "Chanquete", played by Antonio Ferrandis. A replica stands in the Parque Verano Azul as a tribute to all those who contributed to the TV series and, as a consequence, raised the world-wide profile of Nerja.

The Fuente de Nerja fountain is made up of stones donated by EU member states.

The signs on the various avenues are ceramic tiles.
