The Puerto de los Alazores is a mountain pass in the Sierra de San Jorge, in the province of Granada, close to the border with Málaga. This pass is located in the Cordillera Penibética and is approximately 1040 metres high. This pass was an important route in the past, especially during the journeys between Granada and Málaga. According to some sources, Ferdinand II of Aragon crossed here in 1487 to conquer Vélez-Málaga. In the area around the pass there are different types of trees, such as the pino carrasco, elms and pino resinero. It is also the place where the Guadalhorce River rises.

A stunning hairpin climb

However, the fairly intense traffic (especially bikers), the constant slope (although challenging) and the length of this climb make it deserve to be included in the list of the most beautiful climbs in Axarquia.

switch back climb from the north is well paved and hot hot hot! great views

Tough climb: gradient is consistently at or above 8%, with switchbacks not really bringing much relief. The views though, on the Axarquia valley, are stunning all the way to the summit, providing some distraction from the slow grinding. Pretty exposed climb, don't expect much shelter from the sun

There are plenty of parking spaces at the Boquete viewpoint, as it is the starting point for fabulous hiking trails. The tourist train also ends here, a replica of the old rack railway that linked Malaga with Zafarraya between 1922 and 1959. The train was also known as "La Cochinita" because of its slowness. On his way from Málaga to Ventas de Zafarraya, he stopped at El Palo, La Araña, La Cala del Moral, Rincón de la Victoria, Torre de Benagalbón, Chilches, Benajarafe, Valle-Niza, Almayate, Torre del Mar, Vélez-Málaga, El Trapiche, Viñuela, Matanza and Periana.
