View of the Águila Aqueduct

Highlight • Monument

A 19th century aqueduct that still carries water through the deep gorge between Maro and Nerja. The best view is from this point on the N-340a.
It can also be reached directly on foot via a dirt road.
The sugar cane factory that was supplied with this water is now in ruins.

The aqueduct Águila (translated as the eagle) in Nerja is a very large aqueduct and immediately catches the eye. 37 arches made of brick span four floors. In total, the aqueduct is around forty meters high. The water supply comes from an open canal on the top floor.

The entire building is reminiscent of the Mudejar style typical of Andalusia, especially on its northern side. The Mudéjares were assimilated Muslims who were allowed to remain in Spain after Arab rule was pushed back from the 11th to 15th centuries.

Ruins of the Old Sugar Mill in Maro

Highlight • Historical Site

Not far from the Plaza Iglesia de Maro you can find the ruins of the old mill of Maro dating back to 1582. Due to the dilapidated nature of the ruins, the visit is only possible from the outside.
