Langetermijn- en winterverhuur in Nerja - 20 is nu beschikbaar

On the far east side of Costa del Sol, in the province of Málaga, lies the enchanted Nerja, a picturesque Andalusian town with a population of only 22,000 residents. The word Nerja is an adaptation of the Arabic "narixa", which means “abundant spring”, or “abundant source”, referring to the natural richness and beauty of the surroundings. This natural abundance proved to be attractive since ancient times: the first humans occupied the cave system near Nerja during the stone age, leaving their legacy of cave art and paintings. In later times, the town became a Roman settlement and then a Moorish town until the XVI century when it was Christianised, following the arrival of the Spanish catholic kings in Málaga.
