ノルテ・オ・アンテケラのおすすめツーリングルート

Caminito del Reyのスタート地点への近道となる、よく照らされたトンネル。身長1.90m以上の方は少し低いかもしれませんが、そうでなければCaminito del Rey周辺のもう一つのハイライトです。トンネルは約500mあり、最初から終わりが見えます。

An impressive Moorish fortress, perched high above Antequera. Built by the Moors between the 11th and 14th centuries, it was further expanded after the Christian reconquest in the 15th century. It served both as a defensive structure and as a symbol of power over the valley.

Especially in the evening hours, when the setting sun bathes the walls of the Alcazaba in a golden light, one of the most beautiful perspectives of Antequera is offered, reflecting both the history and the scenic location of the city.

Located in the Montes de Málaga, this restaurant is an ideal stop for cyclists exploring the region's mountain trails. The restaurant exudes a rustic, traditional atmosphere, with old tools, jerrycans, and platters evoking the area's agricultural past. The menu features hearty, typical regional dishes such as migas (a type of sausage), Plato de los Montes (a regional specialty), and meat and game dishes—perfect for refueling after a strenuous climb. From the terrace and windows, there are sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, making the break particularly worthwhile. Venta Galwey is therefore not only a place for good food but also for relaxation and enjoying the scenery during a cycling tour through the Montes de Málaga.

The ascent to Puerto del León follows a winding, paved road characterized by a consistently steep gradient, particularly noticeable in the switchbacks. The route leads through the foothills of the Montes de Málaga, past wooded slopes, scattered olive groves, and small fields. Upon reaching the upper sections, a view opens up to the mountainous landscape of the Axarquía region, with its gentle mountain ranges and deep valleys. The road itself snakes through the mountains, with the gradient frequently alternating between moderate and challenging, demanding both stamina and pedaling technique. The route, combined with the altitude, offers an intense experience of nature and riding.
