Hiking

This boat is the symbol of the full tourist development of Nerja. He is the protagonist of the television series “Verano Azul”, which the filmmaker Antonio Mercero made in Nerja at the beginning of 1980.

Hiking

One of the obligatory tourist photos of Nerja. Sightseeing in Nerja always means a stop at La Dorada, the Verano Azul boat. 36 years after it was issued, Chanquete's boat is one of the most photographed monuments by visitors to the Costa del Sol.

Hiking

La Dorada is a replica of the fishing boat made famous by the popular 1980s Spanish TV series Verano Azul. The boat is moored in a small park near the beach and is a popular photo spot for fans and visitors alike. It's a charming piece of nostalgia that recalls the time when Nerja became nationally famous.
