Overview

The Easy Walks and Rambles are short, gentle, easy walks and rambles through the relatively flat, open countryside and lowland coastal areas immediately around Nerja and Maro. This is the perfect outing for the discerning countryside walker looking for a different kind of walking experience and the opportunity to participate in a highly interesting, engaging and sociable outing.

Unlike walking along steep and narrow mountain paths, these carefree group rambles along country lanes, wide paths and pavements, wandering through open fields, with visits to rocky and grassy ground, all provide ample opportunity for group interaction and conversation. You will be able to stop more frequently and spend more time together observing, discovering and enjoying in more detail, all that the fascinating Nerja countryside has to offer. The going is slow and relaxed, giving you more time to focus on the smaller details of nature that you would otherwise miss on any of the other walks.

These countryside walks have a mixed focus on nature, cultural idiosyncrasies and quirky countryside phenomena. Wildflower enthusiasts will especially want to come on my countryside walks! Our routes typically take us through the favourite habitats of the many magnificent Mediterranean wildflowers that can be seen around Nerja that are not usually seen on the mountain walks and hikes. You will be delighted to discover what enchanting little surprises await to be discovered.

Photography enthusiasts will also be spoiled for choice, what with the wildflowers and the butterflies in open fields and wastelands; derelict buildings and monuments of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; the impressive scenery of countryside and mountain coalesced; the goatherd guiding his goats home in the late evening; horse and carriages squeezing through narrow country lanes; and the colours, shades and hues of countryside sunsets. It’s all very refreshingly different and enjoyable!
