One of my favorite things about living in Granada is how close the beach is! Last week, I took a day trip to Nerja with a friend and had an absolute blast. After a quick photo-op in town, we went to the wonderful and secret Maro Beach.

I’m from the Midwest in the United States. Specifically, I’m from the good ole state of Ohio. Most foreigners have barely heard of it. While it’s a great place to grow up, it’s pretty land-locked. The closest beach was at least a 6-hour drive away. So for me, the beach was always reserved for vacation. I went maybe once a year.

It is crazy and awesome to me that the beach is so close here in Granada. So of course a day trip to Maro Beach was in order.
