🏖️ During the summer period, we do not organize hikes. We usually resume at the beginning of September. Please note if you go by yourself, temperatures above ☀️ 25°C (77°F) make a hike more strenuous than usual. Read more about the risks here.

This short but demanding hike starts in a quiet suburb of Nerja and quickly leads us into the surrounding hills. Despite its modest distance, the route includes some steep and technical sections that make it a real challenge, even for experienced hikers. The effort, however, is rewarded with stunning scenery and a true sense of adventure.

As we make our way across the “Cerros de Nerja,” the path offers impressive views of the “Barranco de la Coladilla,” a dramatic ravine that cuts through the landscape. The terrain is varied, with rocky stretches, narrow trails, and beautiful vantage points perfect for short breaks and photos.

We then continue over the ridge to reach the “Collado de los Bojes” before descending back toward Nerja. This route is ideal for those who enjoy short but invigorating hikes, combining physical effort with breathtaking views over the Mediterranean and the rugged inland mountains.
