Feria de Nerja: A Festival for Adults and Children
Feria de Nerja is the town's annual folk festival in October. The town's patron saints, Virgen de las Angustias and San Miguel Arcángel, are celebrated with music, traditions, and activities for all ages. Exact dates and program vary from year to year.
