オルヒバの峠・トップ6

A great place to relax. You can take homemade wine and a piece of cake. You can also go higher!

Quiet, scenic mountain road.

Nice descent from Trevelez 😎

Suburb of Motril with great views. The place itself is not a highlight, but the route down/up to/from Motril is brilliant. I prefer the exit here (southbound) because of the great view.

Mostly good asphalt (2023), little traffic and a great, impressive landscape. We recommend.

This is a point of completion of Puerto a cima known by cyclists, it is a climb from level 0 to level 1200 m above sea level, a good place to end the route and be able to enjoy a good breakfast at the Haza del restaurant lino or some good beers with its good tapas of poor potatoes with offal or chicken, this place was well known in the past because here during the nights the temperature drops a lot and even in summer because of the heights and here after a slaughter of some pig would bring the pieces for later salting and curing of the pieces to obtain a good ham.

This is a route repeated several times from a point called Fuente del Moral in which this fountain no longer exists, it is an area where there is still a farmhouse on the same road that goes from Motril to Gualchos. You can start the route from this point Either walking or MTB in the direction of Alós Molinos de Lujar there is a track and paths, so you can do it both in summer and in winter, the route takes place among pine forests.

Nice route for road cyclists
