The Puerto de El Torcal is the highest point on the road that leads from Villanueva de la Concepción up to Antequera (Carretera de Málaga a Antequera por Villanueva de la Concepción). At the end of the steady climb, where a sign reading El Torcal stands, you reach the pass, which runs along the western edge of the mountain range of the same name. Just a few kilometers further, a separate road branches off to the El Torcal de Antequera Natural Park and its visitor center.

From here, a sweeping view of the surrounding mountain ranges opens up. The pass is located directly on the main road between Antequera and Villanueva de la Concepción and is therefore a prominent feature in the landscape. Many mistake it for the natural park itself, but it actually marks the highest point of the road at the edge of the impressive karst mountain range.
