Nerja is a beautiful tourist town well known for its beaches and the natural setting of the Maro cliffs, perfect for multiple water sports. However, it also offers a beautiful natural park (known as the Sierra) where you can go hiking, running or cycling during your holiday in Nerja.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Among the many hiking routes that the Sierra Almijara has to offer is the Pico del Almendron loop, a 10.3 km moderately trafficked loop trail rising to a height of 1,510 meters above sea level, accessed from the recreational area of Los Pinarillos behind Maro and which takes between 3 or 4 hours to climb. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

The ascent has a steep climb from the esparto fountain of about 1,000 meters. The peak is above 600-meter cliffs and offers spectacular views of the entire Sierra Almijara and Sierra Tejeda, and on clear days the African continent. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

It is recommended to go with a GPS and study the area beforehand – or go with a local guide or someone who knows the area well since it has a certain level of difficulty. Reaching the peak is not suitable for all people due to the cliffs and narrow ridges.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
