Nerja

Nerja is a town in the Province of Malaga (Spain) and the easternmost town in the Axarquía region. It has a lengthy history, proven by the paintings found in the Caves of Nerja, which were discovered in 1959. They may be the oldest cave paintings in the history of humanity, dating back 42,000 years.

Under Islamic rule, the town's name was Narixa, which means "abundant fountain" and which is the origin of the current name.

Since the 60s this has been one of the most popular tourist destinations on the Costa del Sol. In 2010 its official population reached almost 22,000 inhabitants, with a third of residents being foreigners, predominantly Brits.
