The Balcón de Europa is, without doubt, Nerja’s most iconic landmark and the focal point of the town. Everyone who visits Nerja eventually makes their way to the Balcón de Europa. King Alfonso XII is credited with having given the viewpoint its name. While inspecting the damage caused by a huge earthquake during a formal visit in 1885, he is said to have stood on the Balcón and been so enthralled with the view that he exclaimed, “This is the Balcony of Europe.” Although documents have since been recovered suggesting that the balcony was named before the visit, the legend of the King’s influence remains widely accepted. Recognition of this was formalized with the construction of a life-sized statue of the King overlooking the balcony. A much loved and photographed monument. The Balcón de Europa is built upon a former fortress and gun battery known as "La Batería." The cannons were housed in huge towers that were strategically located along the coast. They were used primarily by the French against pirate raids and against the British.

Balcón de Europa is Nerja's heart and pride. From the "Balcony of Europe", you have a breathtaking view of the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding Almijara mountains. On the rock was formerly a Moorish fortress. Today several of Nerja's fiestas are celebrated right here.
