Cala del Pino is a hidden cove located in the Acantilados de Maro-Cerro Gordo nature reserve between Málaga and Nerja. This protected area stretches along the coast between the towns of Nerja and Almuñécar and is known for its steep cliffs, pristine beaches and crystal clear waters. As access is not easy, the cove often remains deserted. Getting to Cala del Pino by bike is possible, but the last few meters are challenging.

Cycling

For bicycle routes (MTB, Gravel, cycle tourism...) this area is recommended. You can only access some of the beaches by bicycle. If you go by car for hiking, be careful not to leave valuable things inside, they usually steal every year without leaving a trace in the vehicle and take everything. Do not trust the person helping you park to get some coins, they do it in a group. It's a shame that a place like this, and such precious beaches, cannot be visited because of this type of people.
