Does anyone know of a walking route up to the summit of La Marona (La Casa de la Nieve) the highest point in the Sierra Tejeda, together with an estimate of time, difficulty and distance?
Thanks,

Walking in Axarquia (Sierra Tejeda)
route up Maroma
There are two main routes up Maroma from Axarquia.
One is from the natural park area above the village of Alcaucin. This is the most difficult and takes about 7 hours.
The other leaves from the village of Competa and only takes about 5 hours and is a much easier walk. (There are also others from the Granada province that I do not know about)
The walking is all fairly easy, no scrambling really. The only real problem is the altitude (just over 2000m) so things can get nasty if the weather turns bad, which it can do up there very very quickly!

Those are round trip times.
Just outside the village there is a Junta de Andalucia board with the route, there is also a shop in Competa which sells walking leaflets which probably has the route in detail, however it is fairly straight forward.
Dont try and go up at the moment though!!!!
