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.
Jim Ryan is a chartered civil engineer with a passion for the outdoors, who has had several successful guidebooks and one work of fiction published. He has been climbing the mountains of Nerja for over 15 years. This guide is his way of repaying Nerja and Andalucía for many years of pleasure; his share of the proceeds go to Cudeca, a cancer hospice charity in the province of Malaga.
