    At 1700 meters above sea level, the Pilar de Tolox is the highest spring in the entire province of Málaga. It is believed to have Roman origins, and for centuries it was a mandatory stopping point for shepherds and flocks. From this point begins the toughest section of the ascent to the Torrecilla peak, the highest peak in Málaga.

    This place features a virgin statue in one of the caves above the fountain. The fountain itself is pretty and good place to rest before climbing up Torrecilla mountain. No drinking water though.
