サファラヤの峠・トップ6

Here you can eat your sandwiches at the picnic tables under the trees in the shade while enjoying the beautiful view.

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.
