The Iglesia de San Miguel is one of the most traditionally characterful corners of Nerja. Located in Plaza de Andalucía, to the north of the historic centre, this Mudéjar Baroque-style church is dedicated to the town’s patron saint and maintains a serene, intimate atmosphere that sets it apart from the more touristy areas.

Its interior invites visitors to admire the architectural details typical of this style, in a peaceful setting away from the bustle. The visit is enhanced by a stroll through the neighbouring Las Protegidas district, with its narrow, cobbled streets that seem to transport the visitor to Nerja of another era.

Plaza de Andalucía, where the church stands, is a pleasant place to sit and enjoy the local atmosphere among plants and flowers. Discovering the Iglesia de San Miguel means delving into the most authentic and everyday side of Nerja’s old town.
