The mountains of Nerja

Guide to the Sierras de Tejeda, mountains of Almijara Y Alhama in the Spanish region of Axarquía. The 24 hikes are accessible from the holiday centers of Nerja and Vélez-Málaga on the Costa del Sol. The itineraries range from simple walks to strenuous climbs. The mountains are largely made of limestone, with some peaks exceeding 2000 meters above sea level. We explore the white villages of Frigiliana, Competa, Canillas de Albaida, Canilas de Aceituno and Salares, a short distance from the mountain of Nerja.
