Resident’s Day in Nerja

Resident’s Day celebrates Nerja’s diversity and sense of community with international stalls, food from around the world, live music and family activities.

Resident’s Day is a unique celebration in Nerja that pays tribute to the international community living in the municipality. More than 80 nationalities live in Nerja and Maro, and this day becomes a celebration of togetherness, integration and cultural diversity.

International stalls

In Plaza de España, some thirty resident associations and groups set up stalls where they showcase their culture, cuisine, crafts and traditions. You can travel the world without leaving Nerja: from British tapas and Scandinavian cakes to Asian and American dishes.

Music and activities

The programme includes live musical performances, folk dancing, workshops for children and a festive, family-friendly atmosphere that lasts throughout the day.

A participatory event

It is an excellent opportunity to get to know Nerja’s multicultural community and enjoy a different experience. It is organised by the town council’s residents’ department with the associations. It is held on a Sunday in April; the 24th edition was on 19 April 2026 and began at noon with a concert by the Nerja Municipal Band. Source: Nerja Town Council.
