The climate of Nerja (Spain)
Nerja is located in the most eastern part of the
Costa del Sol in the
Malaga province in the Andalusia region. The city is situated on the
Mediterranean Sea and offers kilometers of sandy beaches. Besides the
popular tourist beaches several bays can be found here. Just outside
the city caves have been found with drawings of about 20,000 years
old. The city is very popular among tourists, mainly because of its
beautiful promenade. Because Nerja is located on the leeward side of
the Sierra Nevada mountain range the climate here is one of the most
pleasant in Europe. The mountain range is situated about 2 kilometers
into the interior which prevents cold air from the mainland reaching
Nerja and warm air from the Mediterranean Sea remains stationary.
Winters are mild and pleasant which makes Nerja very suitable to spend
the winter in.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
