Emblematic place of the mountains of Malaga, fountain and bar.

A historic spot where you can take a photo and rest after the long climb. If you are lucky enough to find La Venta, which bears the same name, open (it is next to it) you can rest while you have a drink and even eat, it is one of the best places in terms of quality/price to eat well and then continue the route (but already downhill and with a full stomach 😜).
The Fuente de la Reina is a "dry fountain", it does NOT have water (in case you were thinking of refilling water at this point).
It is a reference point, a crossroads: if you go up from Malaga you can continue by road towards Venta Galwey (another famous Venta and with a crossroads next to it to take different routes). But if instead of continuing straight on the road you decide to turn left on the small paved road that goes up, it will take you to routes within the Parque Natural de los Montes de Málaga (there are several routes) and even by road to the Hotel Humaina and the El Cerrado recreational area, a well-equipped picnic area.
