Spain’s Costa Del Sol: Sierra Almijara + Sierra Tejeda = La Axarquia

Dramatic coastlines on the Torre Caleta walk.

Dramatic coastlines on the Torre Caleta walk.

Author/researcher Charles Davis sums up this beautiful, unspoilt region thus:

Map segment for the Torre Caleta walk.

Map segment for the Torre Caleta walk.

“The Axarquía is one of Spain’s great places, and among the greatest places within it are the Sierras Tejeda and Almijara, which form the backbone both of the region and the present publication. Blessed with high summits, dizzying pinnacles, dramatic crags, deep ravines, dozens of springs, delightful rivers and the best coves on the Costa del Sol, this is an area that has something for everyone. And the only prerequisites for benefitting from all this are a desire to get off the beaten track and a set of relatively, sometimes very, sturdy legs.

If you’ve not seen them already, you can get an idea of how dramatic these mountains are from one simple fact, that the high peaks, including Lucero (1775 metres), Navachica (1832 metres) and La Maroma (2070 metres), are all within ten kilometres of the coast, rising out of the sea like a succession of immense pedestals, just waiting for humankind to enthrone whoever or whatever we find most sacred or simply most lacking in our quotidian lives.”

Hi David
I used your your map in my Montana today and was impressed, I loaded it directly to the GPS memory so it could overlay my Topo Spain.Axarquia Walk 8 Path to Los Pradillos

This worked very well for me so I could switch maps in seconds and compare. Must say I’m impressed, not being a fan of 1.40,000.

Thanks for your help with the file,

Regards
Bill
