トタランの天然記念物・トップ20

Incredible views from Mirador del Cochino. The climb is well worth it to enjoy them.

A beautiful natural park very close to Malaga that's well worth exploring by mountain bike or gravel bike. Be aware that once inside there are many paths and it's easy to get lost.

Drinking water from the fountain, cafe/ bar right next door.

Good quality water

The Mirador Francisco Vázquez Sell is a beautiful spot in the natural environment of the Montes de Málaga. It is a viewpoint named after Francisco Vázquez Sell, an engineer who played an important role in the recovery of the water and forest areas in the Guadalmedina River Valley. From the viewpoint you can enjoy beautiful panoramic views, including the Bay of Málaga, the mountains of Mijas, Alhaurín and Cártama, and the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park. It is a great place to walk and enjoy nature.

A mythical spot and a must-see, this majestic fountain only carries water in winter, but it's still very beautiful.

Natural Park with many paths and trails. The main paths are very wide and even allow vehicles to pass in some sections (others have chains to prevent the passage of vehicles, reserved only for emergency cases). Following the paths it is difficult to get lost, but it is always advisable to take a recorded route and follow it with downloaded maps, there are many sections without network coverage. The best time is winter, from October to April at the latest, after that it is very hot and there are hardly any sources to get water.

A historic spot where you can take a photo and rest after the long climb. If you are lucky enough to find La Venta, which bears the same name, open (it is next to it) you can rest while you have a drink and even eat, it is one of the best places in terms of quality/price to eat well and then continue the route (but already downhill and with a full stomach 😜). The Fuente de la Reina is a "dry fountain", it does NOT have water (in case you were thinking of refilling water at this point). It is a reference point, a crossroads: if you go up from Malaga you can continue by road towards Venta Galwey (another famous Venta and with a crossroads next to it to take different routes). But if instead of continuing straight on the road you decide to turn left on the small paved road that goes up, it will take you to routes within the Parque Natural de los Montes de Málaga (there are several routes) and even by road to the Hotel Humaina and the El Cerrado recreational area, a well-equipped picnic area.
