The Balcón de Europa comes to La Rosaleda

Nerja, situated around 50 kilometres from La Rosaleda, will feature in the match against CD Lugo on Saturday, to become the third star of ‘Malaguistas to the Core’.

The eastern part of Málaga province is in very good hands. Nerja is part of the Costa del Sol-Axarquía and supports the Blue and White team from the 50 kilometres that separate them from La Rosaleda Stadium. The easternmost municipality of Málaga is bathed by the Mediterranean and borders Granada.

Nerja perfectly represents the Costa del Sol. Its subtropical climate and its more than 315 days of sunshine a year make the Axarquía town an ideal place to relax and enjoy a multitude of aqua activities. Its more than 20,000 inhabitants daily enjoy the famous caves of Nerja, the Balcón de Europa, the Church of El Salvador, the Chillar River and its paradisiacal beaches, such as those of Maro and Burriana.

As well as having Malaguismo in its veins, Nerja’s gastronomy also reflects its good taste. The Mediterranean diet is the star of the show, and fresh fish and tropical fruits are characteristic. Also, the ‘ajoblanco’ with grapes, the ‘ajocolorao’, the sweet potatoes in sugar cane honey, the Nerja cabbage, the pickled anchovies, the local ‘choto’, fried pumpkin, the avocado salad and the almond soup are just some of the tasty highlights.

This privileged location will be the third protagonist of the ‘Malaguistas to the Core’ campaign, and La Rosaleda Stadium will open its doors on Saturday at 20:30 for them to watch #MálagaLugo. The town’s mayor, José Alberto Armijo will accompany the Nerja visitors to the stadium, and will watch the match from the ‘Palco de Honor’.

The Balcón de Europa will move aside, and Málaga CF will enjoy the support of these pro Malaguistas. We’re sure that the Peña Malaguista de Nerja will have instilled Malaguismo into the youngest fans and they’ll be present to watch the game. Let’s celebrate this day together with three very special points.

Thank you for preserving the essence of the province and for joining us on this adventure, Nerja. We share our roots with memory, commitment and faith.

We can’t wait until Saturday!
