Almuñecar is getting the year off to an active start, as the municipal department of sport announces 14 hiking excursions in Southern Spain. The program advertises hiking trails along the Axarquia coast and others further inland.
Hikers will undertake the first trail on January 26, on a route between Maro and La Coladilla in Nerja. Participants will be able to enjoy the Mediterranean vegetation, the ravine and the panoramic views of La Almijara natural park.

In March, routes will include a trail by the cliffs in Cerro Gordo and Maro and a second trail between Fuentes and Atalayas de Cónchar.
