The reservoir La Viñuela northeast of Málaga is a great and especially quiet hiking destination. Apart from shepherds, we hardly met anyone there. If it rains little in the summer / fall, the lake is very dry in December, so you can virtually wander where no one else is on foot.
Attention: In the summer it can get extremely hot!

Very nice route, but a small tip, take enough water with you. When we were there it was very hot. At one point, where there was still a little bit of water, at the small viaduct
we met a fox. It took us 1 hour 43 minutes, with 2 small breaks.
