Nerja’s Hidden Gem: The Beach Library on Burriana
Your Nerja Beach Holidays just got better
Imagine lounging on the golden sands of Burriana Beach in Nerja, with the sound of waves lapping at your feet and a captivating book in your hands. Welcome to Nerja’s “biblioplaya,” a unique beachside library that has been delighting sun-seekers for nearly two decades, thanks to the initiative of the Nerja Cultural Action Association.
This isn’t just any ordinary library. Here, you can borrow books in a variety of languages—completely free of charge! Whether you’re into thrillers, romance, or travel tales, there’s something for everyone. And if you’re feeling competitive, challenge friends to a game of table tennis or chess. Plus, the library doubles as a mini tourist info centre, perfect for exploring more of what Nerja has to offer.
Open daily throughout July and August from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., the biblioplaya is more than just a spot to grab a good read—it’s a vibrant hub where culture, relaxation, and fun converge.
J. K. Rowling once said, “Wherever I am, if I’ve got a book with me, I have a place I can go and be happy.” If you have a good book and find yourself on a beach on the Costa del Sol, surely it doesn’t get better than that.
So if you’re in the Axarquía this summer, dig out the books that you have already read and take them down to a ‘biblioplaya’ for a guaranteed supply of summer reading matter.
There are more beaches with libraries along the Costa del Sol. Check out this article in the Sur in English.
