Nerja, on the eastern Costa del Sol, takes on an international flavour mainly because it welcomes guests of many nationalities at Christmas time. This former fishing community has maintained a distinctive charm adding to it's popularity. It also has a considerable amount of restaurants to choose from but not all serve Christmas dinner.

The local Spanish people typically eat at home on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day is a quiet affair as the most significant celebrations do not happen until the Three Kings come to town on the 5th of January.

Meanwhile you can enjoy the typical holiday festivities and one of the more favorite traditions is the glorious "Nacimientos" (nativity scenes) which are dotted around the town. Just walk the streets and you will wonder at the creativeness of them. Visit the shops and you will be welcome to a drink and some chocolates or marzipan offered by the proprietors.

For holiday makers from the north of Europe this can seem a little strange at first and the majority find it very relaxed. But finding somewhere special to eat out and enjoy their Christmas Dinner in Nerja can be a little bit difficult. That is because the better dining establishments get booked up early so it pays to begin looking as soon as you can.

There are of course, plenty of Nerja restaurants to choose from with options for dining out to suit every taste and palate. But if you want to find somewhere extraordinary it might pay to look a little outside the town along the beach going towards Torrox. Here you will discover Restaurant First. This exquisite restaurant is focused on individuality, style and an outstanding dining experience.

The reputation of the owners is outstanding and they offer a menu and service to match. To whet your appetite read through the Christmas Day menu.
