The peak can be reached from various points in the region, including Alcaucin, Alhama de Granada, Canillas de Aceituno and Sedella. 

Whichever route you decide to take, the walk is sure to offer some amazing views all over the region.

Alongside La Maroma, the Parque Natural is full of plenty of hiking routes including the Cima de Tejeda, el Cerro Tacita de Plata or el Cerro del Tojo Fuerte.
