The Cala Barranco de Maro is one of the most hidden spots on the Nerja coastline. Located at the mouth of a ravine and surrounded by natural cliffs, it offers a rugged landscape where the mountains, vegetation and the Mediterranean meet in a small area.

It is not a beach designed for those looking for numerous facilities or easy access. Its appeal lies precisely in its nature, silence and the opportunity to admire an area of the Maro coast that has remained little altered. The stones and uneven ground make suitable footwear advisable.

This cove is especially interesting for hikers, photography enthusiasts and visitors used to exploring natural spaces. Before going, it is advisable to check the access conditions and the sea, avoid days of heavy rain and take particular care in such a fragile and secluded spot.
