Nerja, (originally named Narixa, meaning "rich in water"), has many legends and stories which have been passed by word of mouth across the centuries, stemming from romance between the sun, the moon and the sea. The sea has always been - and still remains - the soul of the town. Nerja is located at the foot of the Sierra Tejera on soaring cliffs high above the sea some 50 kms to the east of Malaga .
