been to Nerja in dec and jan nearly everything is still open and you have a better chance of reasonable weather due to its location

Thanks for that, how is weather better there, would be nice if it was. Days weren't bad last year, evenings still chilly

if you look at a topographical map Nerja /Torrox/Tor de mar are sheltered from the worst of the weather by the mountain range being so close, when the prevailing weather is coming down over the Sierras most of the cloud splits and passes on either side [I'm not saying you wont get rain but not usually as heavy] you will tend to get the bad weather when in the winter it comes in off the med and gets trapped [not seen this happen too often]
