Declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1984, the Alhambra draws two million visitors a year, making it one of Spain's most popular tourist attractions. Tourists are increasingly discovering the eastern Costa del Sol. Here the cliffs meet the Mediterranean Sea and the charming seaside resort of Nerja is nestled in the foothills of the dramatic Sierra Almijara.
