Nerja sits at the eastern end of the area we cover, yet plenty of drivers from there and from elsewhere on the Costa del Sol bring their batteries to Málaga Baterías at C/ La Orotava, 100, 29006 Málaga. We are an Official Varta Distributor: free testing, a professional swap on the spot and your old battery recycled at no cost. The shop is 55 km from Nerja, about 45-55 minutes away.
Nerja: residents’ cars, seasonal cars and hospitality vans
With some 21,000 inhabitants, Nerja is a key resort on the eastern Costa del Sol: the Nerja Caves (dubbed the “Sistine Chapel of the Palaeolithic”), the Balcón de Europa and the town beaches draw visitors all year, and many British and German residents live there. Its streets carry tourists’ and residents’ cars along with vans from the hospitality trade. Sea air and cars left parked for weeks while their owners are away are two classic battery killers; when a car refuses to start after a long absence, that is nearly always why. A quick call before you set off makes sure the exact reference is reserved when you arrive.
