    Puerto del León is one of the most interesting and difficult ports of passage in the province of Malaga. It offers views of the Mediterranean Sea, Malaga and the Axarquia region.

    Excellent views of the coast, a must-see 😜
    Very close by is the Queen's Fountain (about 500m away), which is also a must-see. At both points, there are inns where you can enjoy a good meal or a few beers.
