モンテスデマラガのおすすめランニングルート

Caution at crossings with chains.

Without a doubt, one of the best views in all of Malaga.

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 monument near Colmenar is a stone memorial monolith commemorating José Campos Fontalba, a chief engineer of the province of Málaga. Constructed of roughly hewn natural stone, it takes the form of a stepped base with an inset cross. At its center is a recessed stone plaque bearing his name, profession, and a dedication. The monument stands at the roadside, surrounded by tall cypress trees, and is clearly visible from the road. It conveys the impression of a traditional, solid memorial, a common feature of the first half of the 20th century. Its simple, robust design and the use of local stone blend harmoniously into the landscape of the Montes de Málaga. Overall, it is a typical example of a Spanish road or engineering monument of that era, commemorating both an individual and the importance of public works in a mountainous region. Today, the monument stands as a silent historical witness by the roadside, preserving the memory of the technical and social development of this area.

You can go along the same channel (more fun) or along a very nice trail
