A viewpoint with an information panel to recognize what we are seeing, deserves a brief stop and of course a photograph

A pond located very close to the Jarapalos fountain, used in hot weather to cool off

A beautiful forest suitable for any sporting activity (hiking, trail running, mountain biking) with its different types of terrain, slopes, etc. The lower area with its wide paths is highly recommended and I think it's the most beautiful, especially because of its trees and type of terrain.

Start of the climb and emblematic point to go up to the Jarapalos fountain, you can park in this area and start the climb on foot (you can go up a little further by car to the entrance to the Tiro Pichón range but sometimes there are too many vehicles and it is difficult to park and maneuver).

A unique reference and a very common route destination for hikers but especially cyclists, usually going up from the entrance through the Tiro Pichón shooting range, a constant climb with good views and some viewing points along the way. The fountain always has water but I doubt it is drinkable, it is not indicated and I have never risked trying it 😅. What we can do is cool off, it is on the north face and offers shade and humidity. Right in front there is a descent towards the Mínillas but if we continue climbing we can see another viewing point in about 800m and a couple of kilometres later we will reach the crossroads to continue towards Puerto de la Encina or go down towards the bottling plant and Mijas. Of course we will always have the option of going up to the fountain and returning along the same path, with the peace of mind that everything is downhill.

It is worth sitting down for a while to rest and enjoy the spectacular views.

Great, quiet and difficult climb to the antennas. You will be rewarded for your effort with what is certainly the best view in the area.

Viewpoint that allows us to see the Los Arenales Quarry from above, one of several quarries in the area. Good starting point to explore the Sierra de Mijas, as it has a parking area.
