under range of mighty mountains. These are the Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara Y
Alhama. Together they encompass 50 mountains over 1000m, with the highest, La
Maroma over 2000m, and offer walkers some stunnning routes. This naturally
beautiful mountainous area is only about the size of Snowdonia National Park and
combines stark geological features on high, rocky mountains with peaceful and
remote valleys, where the wilderness is but a few minutes away. Explore the
white mountain villages of Frigiliana, Competa, Canillas de Albaida, Canilas de
Aceituno and Salares, just a short distance from Nerja. Several others are also
visited on the walks. Any one of the routes in this guidebook can be walked in a
day trip from Nerja, making this delightful coastal town a good place to base
yourself. The wide selection of graded day walks are described ranging from
strolls to strenuous climbs. 24 graded day walks the best time of year for
