On this tour you mostly have Nerja, Torrox or nature in view😂

Frigiliana is a beautiful town that you can cycle through early in the morning, before the numerous tourists who visit it invade. It's definitely worth it, especially if you do it as the start of a route like a Frigiliana-Competa circular route, as I did.

A group of houses with a small chapel and even a restaurant (with very high prices), surrounded by forest. A beautiful area.

A wide and easy-to-cross riverbed by bike, although it carries water (about 15 cm, you can easily cross it on a bike without getting wet). On foot, we'll have to get our feet wet 😅 (in mid-May, in other rainy months, there may be more water, so be careful ⚠️). The scenery is refreshing, the sound of the water is accompanied by birdsong... it makes you want to stay a while and rest.

El Pinarillo is a beautiful, quiet picnic area. It's usually wonderfully peaceful.

A bright white village clinging to the mountainside with superb views of the mountains and the sea. We do not recommend cycling up the path suggested by komoot, unless you are fit and on a mountain bike. It is very steep. Better to take the normal road (MA 5105)

Small village in the hinterland with one or two nice restaurants. If you're coming with a rental car, either good tire insurance or an SUV/off-road vehicle
