サラレスのおすすめランニングルート

Beautiful view of Cómpeta. You can easily walk up through the town. Then you can easily finish the round.

To reach the parking lot at Llanadas de Sedella requires a vehicle with 4-wheel drive like a Land Rover Defender. There are gates that might be closed so you must check with the park authorities beforehand - not much space to turn the vehicle around on this narrow road. Once there the view is stunning with horses grazing around. But be cautious! The recommended track we took to reach the top are for expert hikers. Some parts are very steep (>35%) with loose stones. If you suffer from vertigo, avoid! You need support by both hands at time. It’s not an official track but rather a path used by sheep, whose poo indicate that you are on the right track. (There is a northern track that serpentines its way up that might be more convenient). But once you are on the white-green path originating from the Fuentes del Robledal it’s ok. You are exposed to strong winds and no shelter from the sun. Bring lot’s of water and calculate 6hrs return hike. Once you have reached the top of la Maroma you will have a fantastic view over Andalucia with the Sierra Nevada at your back and Gibraltar in front.

Once you have reached the top of the Maroma peak. Pico de malaga we can see fabulous views of the coast and sierras de malaga as well as the Moroccan coasts when the day is clear

This 2069 meter peak was originally called Pico Tejeda because it was the highest point in the mountain range of the same name. The name La Maroma comes from the ropes used to lower the snow that was stored in a natural chasm located 40 meters south of the trig point. This chasm was known as Sima de la Maroma and that led to the summit being named the same way. It is located between the provinces of Granada and Malaga, being the highest point of the second, and on clear days you can see the crescent-shaped coast drawn by the Alboran Sea from Ceuta to Oran.

El Robledal-La Maroma-El Robledal Pico Tejeda or La Maroma is one of the most cosmopolitan and visited peaks in Andalusia, along with Sierra Nevada. This is due, among other things, to the unique views from the summit: just a few kilometers from the entire coast of Malaga, the Mediterranean Sea with its traffic of boats of all kinds, the African coasts and mountains, the Strait of Gibraltar and, North, all the mountains of Malaga and Granada, highlighting Sierra Nevada. You can also see the mountains of the province of Jaén such as Sierra Mágina.

This beautiful town located at the foot of the Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama, has just over 170 inhabitants. It is part of the Mudejar route of the Axarquia de Malaga.

This viewpoint is located just before reaching the town of Cómpeta. On clear days you can see the coast of Nerja and Torrox.

Challenging but very rewarding hike. If attempting in summer its essential to start VERY early and aim to get close to the summit before sunrise and take at least 3 litres of water. A hydration backpack is best as the air is warm even at night. A good level of fitness and experience required. Paths are very well maintained and signposted but a recce of the start of the route in daylight is recommended. There are a couple of natural water stops on the way but only one was usable in July providing a welcome cool off on the descent. It was windy on the summit but still only needed a t shirt at all times (and plenty of sunscreen!) . Lightweight full cover on legs is best as there are spiky plants everywhere!
