Nerja Attractions

Nerja is a popular seaside resort situated at the mouth of the Río Chillar on a steeply sloping site below the Sierra de Mihara. The coast road along the Costa del Sol runs through the town. The town was known to the Arabs as Narixa ("abundant spring"). The tourist boom has not left Nerja unscathed, as the mass of new buildings and some rather dreary beaches will bear witness.
