This is a nice but somewhat demanding walk from one remnant of the Sugar Coast times of Costa the Sol to another. You can start at the end of Burriana beach, climb up the hill, follow the coastal path (warning! as of April 2021, it is in poor condition and dangerous, so take it at your own risk) and turn left to get to San Joaquín Sugar Mill (Fabrica de Maro). Then follow N-340 and signs to Maro. To visit the old bridge (The Málaga–Almería road massacre), take a detour from N-340. Take N-340 back to Nerja. A less spectacular but safer walk is to follow N-340 all the way to Maro and back.
