We celebrate a Costa del Sol that does not correspond to the cliches, a Costa del Sol that is all right rather than all wrong, a playground of green valleys & gilded mountain tops, a hidden idyll unknown to most visitors, a haven for dedicated walkers & adventurous tourists alike, a place in which every nook is graced with some gratifying discovery & every outing is a great adventure. The majority of walks are aimed at the adventurous leisure walker, people who will on the whole have some experience of hiking in mountains, are happy to invest a certain amount of effort for a corresponding reward. Covering the best preserved stretch of coastline, the prettiest villages, & most spectacular mountains, Walk! Costa del Sol explores the Axarquia region east of Malaga, an area blessed with grand summits, dizzying pinnacles, dramatic crags, deep ravines, delightful streams, stunning views, & the finest coves on the Costa del Sol, & all of it knitted together by a network of paths, trails, tracks & lanes so beguiling that walking is by far the best way to explore this lovely landscape. THE COAST: TORRE DEL MAR, TORROX COSTA, NERJA, MARO are well-placed for accessing the itineraries between Canillas de Aceituno & Competa. THE MOUNTAINS: THE SIERRAS DE TEJEDA & ALMIJARA The Sierra is a discrete massif defined by cliffs, gullies & gorges, & culminating in the Iberian Peninsula`s westernmost 2000 metre summit (La Maroma, Walk 35), while the Sierra Almijara comprises numerous mini-ranges separated by canyons. The traditional dividing point between the two sierras is Puerto de Competa, which we visit in Walk 36. The joys of these mountains are manifold, including bulbous karstic domes & vertiginous pinnacles, dramatic cliffs draped with ragged crags & grand ridges dominating the glittering blue sea; there are uplands patched with ancient pastures & dotted with the ruins of remote cortijos (farmhouses), there are terraces stippled with olive & almond trees, hillsides swaddled in a buttery blanket of yellow-flowering shrubs, valleys flanked by shady forests of conifer & cork oak, & fabulous ravines twisting between towering chicanes (known as cahorros) & tipping over spectacular waterfalls into deep plunge pools, all accessible within 15 minutes of the coast. THE WHITE VILLAGES The Pueblos Blancos of Andalusia with their whitewashed walls & red-tiled roofs are justly famous & the Axarquia does not disappoint in this respect. The best known pueblos blancos & the main gateway destinations for walkers are Competa & Frigiliana. West of Competa are some of the region`s prettiest villages, the two Canillas (Aceituno & Albaida), Sedella, Salares & Archez. Walk! Costa del Sol (Axarquia) together with Costa del Sol Tour & Trail Map will give you a series of adventures you`ll never forget.
