La Maroma Summit

Highlight • Summit

This 2069 meter peak was originally called Pico Tejeda because it was the highest point in the mountain range of the same name. The name La Maroma comes from the ropes used to lower the snow that was stored in a natural chasm located 40 meters south of the trig point.

This chasm was known as Sima de la Maroma and that led to the summit being named the same way.

It is located between the provinces of Granada and Malaga, being the highest point of the second, and on clear days you can see the crescent-shaped coast drawn by the Alboran Sea from Ceuta to Oran.

At 2069, la Maroma, also known as the Tejeda, is the highest peak of the Sierras of Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park. Despite being October, it was hot and I took a wrong turn a couple of times. With breaks, it took me about 10hours return. Not too bad considering the temperature, the lack of hiking sticks, the aching …
