Nerja, a beautiful
Andalucian town with stacks of charm and character and no shortage
of things to fill your holiday. But, if you’re looking for something a
little different then the Rio Chillar Waterfall in Nerja is
something not to be missed. And the best bit is you don’t need to be a
rucksack wearing stick carrying member of ‘ramblers anonymous’ to get
to it. Unless of course you want to.
The
waterfall, which feeds some of Nerja’s water supplies (hence the fence
and prohibition of swimming) is set amongst pine trees and the sight,
sound & smell of this experience will be one of the highlights you’ll
be guaranteed to tell your friends about when you get back. But don’t
forget your camera or they might not believe you.
Directions:
From the Sunday market site near Almijara II & III walk up Calle Mirto
for about 100m. Just after Calle Jara the road bears right, here you
take the smaller uphill road to the left or you can use the small
staircase. At this point the road is still tarmac but after about 20m
it becomes a track and splits two ways, take the track which leads
down past the power station and under the Motorway bridge. About 300m
after the bridge you will come to two large white water cylinders on
your right and just about 30m further on your right you will come
across a smaller track which inclines, if you stop to catch your
breath here you can hear the sound of the waterfall through the pine
trees. Take this track and follow your ears. Total distance from
Market: 1.2km. Time on foot: 10-15mins. If you can’t handle the walk
after 20 laps of the market, the track is easily passable by car, no
4x4 necessary. Enjoy :)
