The charming, unspoilt village of Maro (pop.1000) lies 3km east of Nerja, approx. 50 minutes drive east from Malaga Airport. Maro's secluded beach, ideal for snorkelling, is reached by a winding road down the cliffs. The nearby Sierra Almijara provides excellent hillwalking, while the ski slopes of the Sierra Nevada(near Granada) are a scenic one and a half hours drive away. The sea and the mountains act as a dramatic backdrop to the lush farmland and the traditional whitewashed houses and narrow streets of the village itself.
There are a few small general stores, two hotels and a handful of family- run restaurants. Nerja is only a short bus ride away where there are beaches, shops, bars and restaurants to suit all tastes.
The nearest golf course is 15 minutes by car along the motorway (Baviera Golf).
