Canillas de Aceituno

Canillas de Aceituno is one of the lesser-known gems in the mountains of Axarquía, beautifully located at the foot of the region's highest mountain, La Maroma. The town is a popular starting point for hikers wanting to climb the summit or explore the surrounding trails.

The town itself is small and authentic, with narrow streets and a charming plaza. There's also a lovely waterfall trail nearby, Cascada El Bosque, which makes for a good family-friendly hike without having to tackle the mountain itself.
