Dia de Andalucia. This day brings a number of low key events that could easily go unnoticed by visitors to Nerja but are an important occasion in any town in Andalusia. Schools are closed and you'll commonly see the green and white flag of Andalusia all over Nerja.
The flag features three equal vertical bands of blue, yellow, and red with the national coat of arms centered in the yellow band. Those colors are said to represent Andorra'a independence from both France and Spain, as blue and red were taken from France, while red and yellow were taken from Spain.
