Vélez-Málaga, locally known as Vélez, is a municipality, the capital (and the most important city) of the Axarquía comarca in the province of Málaga, in the Spanish autonomous community of Andalusia. Vélez-Málaga is the headquarters of the Commonwealth of Municipalities of Costa del Sol-Axarquía. The municipality forms part of the Costa del Sol region.
Vélez-Málaga itself is a market city and "bustling market town and supply centre for the region's farmers", 4 km inland from Torre del Mar but unlike the coastal resort not dominated by the tourist industry.
