Maro

  • coastal walks
  • nature

Wikivoyage calls Maro one of the oldest settlements in the area and says an aqueduct, the Puente del Águila, was built to bring water to it. Wikipedia describes the Torre de Maro, a 16th-century coastal watchtower, as lying in the Acantilados de Maro-Cerro Gordo Natural Park.

Getting around Nerja

Wikivoyage says Nerja has no plane, boat or train service, so visitors come through Málaga: from Málaga Airport you can drive east along the coastal motorway towards Almería and Motril, take a taxi, or take a bus to Málaga bus station and change there. Wikipedia gives the drive from Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport as 45 minutes and adds that Nerja is not part of the Málaga Metropolitan Transport Consortium.

Wikivoyage places the bus stop on Avenida de Pescia, about a 10-minute walk inland from the Balcón de Europa, and Wikipedia lists coach destinations from the town including Málaga, the Caves of Nerja, Frigiliana, Maro, Almuñécar, Vélez-Málaga, Granada, Córdoba, Seville, Almería and Motril. Wikivoyage says walking is the easiest way around the centre, with some gradual and some steep slopes, and that street parking is difficult in the narrow streets, so it recommends the central car parks.

Living in Nerja for longer

Wikivoyage points to a Nerja walks guide from the tourist office near the Balcón de Europa, with maps and directions for walks, and describes the town as set in the foothills of the Sierra Almijara. Wikipedia lists the Sierras of Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park among the area's sights, along with Frigiliana, a village on the nearby mountain.

The official website of the Nerja Cave describes a cave of 4,823 metres at 158 metres above sea level, with three entrances, and a Nerja Museum covering local history from prehistory to the present day. Wikipedia adds that concerts are regularly held in one of the cave's chambers.
