Flavors that will make you fall in love, the pleasure of staying with Narixa Villas

When we picture the perfect holiday, we think of rest, natural beauty, and of course, great food. At Narixa Villas, we invite you to discover a corner of Andalusia where all these elements come together in harmony: Nerja. Here, the sea and mountains meet not only in the landscape but also at the table, offering a culinary experience that’s truly at the heart of the journey.

Make yourself at home—and savour Nerja like a local

Our villas, located in a peaceful natural setting just minutes from the center, are the perfect place to combine relaxation and gastronomic culture. Here, every day is an opportunity to discover the flavors of the Axarquía region of Málaga, immersing yourself in a slow-paced lifestyle connected to the land, the sea, and tradition.

Taste of Nerja: A culinary journey through the Costa del Sol

The cuisine of Nerja reflects its surroundings. Seafood like sardines, octopus, and anchovies combine with local ingredients such as extra virgin olive oil, almonds, raisins, and vegetables grown in traditional gardens. Simplicity and honesty define every recipe.

In this land, there’s no rush: slow cooking, eating with good company, and savoring each bite as if it were a tribute. Dishes like ajoblanco, migas, and homemade stews are not just food; they tell the story of the place.

Here are the most traditional dishes you must try during your stay at Narixa Villas.

1. "Espeto de sardinas"

A symbol of the Málaga coastline, sardines are skewered on sticks and grilled by the sea. Their smoky flavor and juicy texture make them one of the most authentic dishes of summer.

2. "Ajoblanco"

It is a cold soup perfect for hot summer days. Its base is made with ground almonds, garlic, bread, olive oil, and vinegar, creating a smooth, creamy texture. This light and healthy dish has a delicate, refreshing taste, ideal as a starter for an outdoor meal. It is typically served with pieces of melon or grapes, balancing the creaminess of the "ajoblanco" with a sweet, refreshing contrast.

3. "Migas"

Traditionally a humble dish, "migas" are made with stale bread, garlic, and olive oil, often served with sardines, chorizo, or even grapes depending on the season. Perfect for replenishing energy after a hike in the mountains, this hearty, flavorful dish reflects the simplicity and authenticity of Andalusian cuisine.

4. "Ensalada de pimientos asados"

Roasted and peeled red peppers are seasoned with olive oil, garlic, and salt. It is served cold, either as a starter or a side dish, and is commonly found in local homes.

5. "Pescaito frito"

A variety of small fish, such as anchovies, squid, or red mullet, fried in olive oil. Crispy, golden, and full of flavor. A classic Andalusian dish that takes on a special significance in Nerja.
