The Mountains of Nerja Summary

The Mountains of Nerja: Sierras Tejeda, Almijara Y Alhama by Jim Ryan

The little town of Nerja, on Spain's Costa del Sol, nestles under a range of mighty mountains. Less than an hour's drive from Malaga airport, these are the Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara Y Alhama. This guidebook describes 24 graded day walks suitable for all abilities, and range from gentle strolls to serious challenges up to high summits. The routes are described step by step and illustrated with extracts from the official IGN mapping with lots of extra information about the natural environment and local history. Any one of the routes in this guidebook could be done in a single day trip from Nerja, making the town a good base for the area. With a season that lasts all year, it's no wonder that this area of southern Spain is a popular destination for walkers.
