アレナスデルレイの天然記念物・トップ20

Currently, a section of 800 meters is still heavily overgrown, with huge rosemary and sage bushes, as well as thorns. It's best to bring a stick or something similar to push them away. However, the view is unique, and the spring is a dream.

This hike is fun even for teenagers! A great canyon, with numerous small stream crossings, and stunning views. Shoes with treads are highly recommended, and keep in mind: there are two ascents and two descents: down into the canyon, up the mountain, back down into the canyon, and up to the village. Overall, a varied hike.

We really enjoyed the tour up the riverbed and back along the aqueduct. We did the tour on April 2, 2025. You can find the tour dates in my profile. Just enter SPAIN 🇪🇸 in the search bar.

Pico del Cielo is an impressive peak located in the Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara, and Alhama Natural Park, near Nerja. The route is approximately 20 km (round trip) and can take between 6 and 7 hours to complete. It's a challenging hike in terms of endurance, but technically easy.

In March 2025 there was a lot of water flowing, a trip is then only possible with suitable water shoes. We did not have that and returned.

Easy hike in an impressive gorge.

The riverbed of the Rio Higueron, which dries up in summer, is a wonderful place to walk in summer. It is shaded in long sections by huge oleander bushes, which are particularly beautiful when they are in bloom. In the Frigiliana area, there is a large difference in height of around 10 m. There is a staircase there, but it is not immediately visible, so keep your eyes open.

Sadly no water in the river bed, but still nice to look at.
