Itinerary description

Easy mostly flat walk with a few steep bits through farmland, and a 20-30 metre or so very slightly vertiginous part, where it is a bit slippy under foot from small stones but easily manageable with care. Return via road or return the same way. Maro has a few stops for refreshments and nerja has many more including 2 supermarkets as you come back into town.
