Unveiling the Thrilling Cuesta del Cielo Trail

Trail Endorsement and Recognition

This challenging ascent from the picturesque coastal town of Nerja unfolds a journey through varying landscapes, culminating in a reward of unparalleled panoramic views spanning the Axarquía region and the sea, offering glimpses across the European and African shores.

The trail’s recent designation as a Sports Trail was a culmination of efforts by the Nerja Town Council, marking its completion with the installation of new markers and signals by TrakRoot SCA. Reflective rings adorn the path, particularly accentuated in higher sections, while additional rock-affixed signage enhances visibility at night and warns of potential hazards like fog and cliffs.

Reaching the summit of Pico del Cielo is a triumph, offering an unparalleled spectacle of landscapes and vistas that capture the essence of natural beauty and geographical diversity.
