The Headwater Navigation App is easy-to-use and provides our customers with route directions, mapping and day by day guides on the areas you’ll be walking or cycling through, removing all the fuss that comes with carrying a conventional map. Once your booking is confirmed and before your holiday begins, we’ll provide you with a unique code to access the app so all the routes and information can be downloaded to your smart device in advance (Wi-Fi / broadband required for download). There is no need for an internet connection or data usage along the way - the app will track your position along the route via GPS and tell you if you have taken a wrong turn, meaning you’ll never get lost. Not all of Headwater’s holidays are currently on this app.

The new Nerja Cave app is a tool which lets you download and listen to the official audioguides that the Cueva de Nerja Foundation offers its visitors. It gives you 3 options, including the audioguide to the Nerja Museum, which belongs to the Cueva de Nerja Foundation: - General audioguide to the Nerja Caves - Children’s audioguide to the Nerja Caves - Audioguide to the Nerja Museum The Cueva de Nerja Foundation is working towards innovation in our systems, so we can always offer you the best services. That’s why we have created an app audioguide, so you can download it to your mobile phone and always have it handy. We recommend downloading it before you go into the caves (at home, at the hotel, in the area, etc.) as there is no mobile coverage inside. Once downloaded it can work offline, so you don’t have to worry about bandwidth. You can listen to it as often as you want: before your visit, so you know what you’re going to see; during the route, to accompany you all the way; and after your visit, to catch up on any details you may have missed. The Nerja Cave app is simple and easy to use. Look for the numbered markers in the cave. Play the audio for that number, and enjoy what you find out! Also, the “Gallery” section has multimedia material to complement each audio track. Welcome to the Nerja Cave! Welcome to our new App experience.
