Beautiful walk. Departed from Robledal. From there, you cover a height difference of just under a thousand meters over 15.5 km. Breathtaking vistas. Very quiet through the period of the year (July). Sometimes some tough sections when climbing and (especially) descending. A walking app is recommended because you sometimes find the path difficult to see, especially when you approach the summit.

La Maroma, also known as Tejeda, at 2066 m of altitude, is the highest peak of the Sierra Tejeda, Cordillera Penibética, Spain.
From the town Canillas De Aceituno there is a walking path all the way up to the mountaintop of La Maroma. You have to try this. Just beautiful! - If you want to see detailed description of the walking route then see my profile on www.EveryTrail

It looks like a barren grey lump of rock from afar but drive up to the natural park and it is the most wonderful oasis of pine woods, wild flowers, clear mountain streams and clouds of butterflies. Give the coast a miss and head up here for a day you will not regret it.

If you are reasonably fit this is a great day out - I've been up loads of times with walkers and non walkers alike - everyone always enjoys it. The views are fantastic. If you are lucky and there is low cloud that you pass through on the assent you will emerge into blue skies and wonderful cloudscapes, the effect is stunning. Go prepared, food, water, can be quite nippy up there in winter and in summer you will need a hat and plenty of sun protection. The path is well signposted. We saw wild Ibex and many different birds of prey.

My wife and I are very lucky to call Andalucía our home. When we open the curtains in the morning, this is what we see. If you are in for a landscape that is of astounding beauty and a still original untouched ruggedness, you must come and visit the Axarquia region, just east/north east of the city of Málaga. White villages, small authentic and honest (ridiculously cheap) restaurants and welcoming people are here to be discovered.

The walk up Maroma can be started and finished by several different routes. I would recommend all who are planning the walk to do some research as not all routes are equal. Also the window for walking has to be considered as it can be very hot or very cold. Ideal times to walk are May and September. be prepared to walk for more than 8 hours buy the route we took.
We chose to start at the El Alcazar Picnic area near Alcaucin and finish at Canillas de Aceituno. This is not the easiest route. The walk up is hard but very enjoyable and offers magnificent views over Vinuela. The walk down is more difficult. We found the path difficult to find to start with then the amount of loose stone on the path very hard work.
I would certainly do the walk again and would start at the Alcaucin point but I think I would plan to finish to the north, we are all looking forward to it.

Very poor service, furthermore, the food is as expected if it were on a fast food resturant. Therefore I would never recommend this place to others as it is too expensive and to poor quality.

An absolutely fantastic at the end of march. I walked from the North side and had a great time in the nature and the forrest surrounding La Maroma from the North side/ the highland and up. Its a tough walk which can be done in about 4.5 hour all in all if you hurry up :-)

Hi there! Really nice photos of La Maroma.
I am visiting to Nerja coming year. Just have a wish to go up there after seeing sunset in Nerja.
Can you please tell me, if it is possible to go up there at midnight(to see sunrise from beginning), and how much I can reach up there with my car before the walk?
Also, do you think I can do a tiny bonfire up there?
