アリーナの絶景の山頂・トップ7

下りはいくつかの場所で非常に急で、高い段差があります。数カ所で道を見つけるのが難しいですが、Komootがあれば可能です。速度は時速2kmの場合もあります。

Not to be walked in June, July or August. Even in September you will be roasted. I went in October and it was hard because of the Sahara moving up north and entering Andalusia. But so beautiful…..

Take plenty of water and good shoes. A great hike, with great views.

The views are spectacular; the climb is worth it.

From up here I have a wonderful view of the Pico Tejera (La Maroma), the villages of Almáchar, El Borge and Comares, as well as Vélez Málaga, Torre del Mar and Iznájar.

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.

Ignore the directions. There are hardly any parking spaces and the entrance to the senda is simply adventurous. Better to follow the signs from the Plaza de constitution center. And be careful: the path along the moat is NOT for people who are not sure-footed and have a head for heights. We are reversed🙈

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
