The AXARQUÍA is rural and unequal: The Sierras of Alhama, Tejeda and Almijara form the límites with the Province of Granada.

The varied landscape of the AXARQUÍA extends from the high tops from the mountains until the quiet beaches. Nature was generous when it created this marvellous area. One of the most beautiful landscape is the "sierra del Alcázar", natural parks near Alcaucín, as well as the zone of the Viñuela lake (left).
The climate of the AXARQUIA is mainly mediteranean with soft winters and hots summers. In North, the area is protected from the cold winds by the sierras of Alhama, Tejeda and Almijara.

Its subtropical latitude is one of the principal reasons for which the area enjoys 3.000 hours of sun per year. The Eastern part of the AXARQUÍA has 30 kilometers of beaches which extend from "Rincón de la Vicroria" until the limits with the Province of Granada.

Torre del Mar, Torrox and Nerja have broad sand beaches.
In the neighbourhoods of Nerja and Maro the shore forms small splits... The sea water is very clear and the beaches have an easy accesses.

On every one of those beaches, you can sail, make windsurf, fish or deep-sea diving and any kind of beaches games. There are cafeterias, restaurants and bars throughout the "paseo maritimo" of Torre del Mar, Torrox and Nerja.
