Nerja is a municipality on the Costa del Sol in the province of Málaga in the autonomous community of Andalusia in southern Spain. It is part of the comarca of La Axarquía. It is on the country's southern Mediterranean coast, about 50 kilometres (31 mi) east of Málaga.
A popular and widely repeated folk etymology claims the name comes from Arabic for "abundant source", but the Arabic form Nāriŷa itself stems from an unknown pre-Islamic name.
