Airports near Nerja

Looking for information
Hola Gary,
You live in my country and I live in yours, well, I live in Ireland, are you Irish or English?
Well, my consultation is this: I'm planning to go to Nerja (Málaga) around middle May, just for a long weekend. I have been searching flights to Malaga but they seem to be quite expensive traveling Friday to Monday and even Thursday to Sunday and to Málaga city.
As my final destination is Nerja, which airport do you recommend me to fly to; Jerez, Sevilla ..?? How far are those cities to Nerja. I will probably rent a car for those days but also (as I don't know the area) I would not like driving very long time.
Thank you for your help. I've found your web site very handy as well.
Gracias y un saludo,

Jerez No!.. you could but quite far. Would be about 3 hours driviing I think. Its 90 minutes from Marbella and Nerja is about another 90!
Seville you could get a train down on the RENFE or drive 2 hours.
Try looking at Granada Airport about 100km from Nerja although no direct flights. YOu could fly to Stanstead and then change. onto Ryan Air.
Flights are expensive at the weekend, have a look at www.thomsonfly.com too! Sometimes they are cheap.
Also have a look at www.googlemaps.com You can get good maps and routes.

Creo que te he ayudado!

buen viaje
