Never noticed that before…
Well, amazing. From one point in Maro, you can actually see and get a shot of the Balcón de Europa in Nerja (+/- 5 kilometres) AND the lighthouse in Torrox (+/- 14 kilometres). Never knew that. OK, a bit far for a DECENT shot, but it’s a shot.

Unicaja in Maro
The Unicaja branch office in Maro will not now be closing, at least not for the time being, so good news for the residents of Maro.
