Maro
The town of Maro, forming part of the municipality of Nerja, is a very nice Andalusian town only 4 km (2 miles) East of Nerja and 1 km from the famous Caves of Nerja. Maro was a Roman establishment and is classified as a natural area of exceptional beauty, ideal for beach lovers and for walkers.
Maro also has a magnificent beach which is part of the more than 16 km. belonging to Nerja, with clear waters and offering the opportunity of practising, among other sports, underwater fishing.
 Highlights
The tower of Maro is one of many similar towers of the historic coastal defence system. From here there are incredible views and you can enjoy a pleasant walk with stunning views.
The aqueduct of Maro, also called Puente del Aguila (eagle bridge) is a beautiful piece of engineering work, erected at the end of the nineteenth century, this aqueduct was built to transport water from a spring in Maro to the San Joaquín de Maro sugar factory. Today this factory is closed but the aqueduct continues to be used by the local communal irrigators. The aqueduct can easily be seen from the coastal N-340, close to the Nerja caves.
Maro’s little church is typical of those found in Mediterranean villages. It was built at the end of the eighteenth century and greatly reformed in 1887.
