미하스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 산길

The trail can be done on an enduro bike, but unless you're a pro, you'll often have to push the bike, as the narrow trail is often blocked. However, you can ride quite well where possible. The uphill trail is definitely not doable by bike unless you want to carry the bike for miles.

Puerto de la Encina is well signposted, with a wide esplanade and signs making it clear that we have arrived. It offers views of Malaga city and the mountains of Granada, which we can sometimes see snow-capped (very far away, of course 😅). By bike it is inevitable to continue down towards Alhaurín el Grande or towards Firme de Jarapalos, on foot we can go up a path towards "La Bola", an antenna with this shape at the top of the mountain with incredible views of the coast, which is highly recommended. The distance to La Bola is not very long but it is steeper, going up by bike means carrying it a good stretch (I did it once, but it is not highly recommended).

Emblematic crossroads

From here, both the Pico Mijas and the Pico Mendoza can be climbed.

At this point, known as Puerto de los Cinco Dedos, there is a detour of 500 meters towards the Tajo Bermejo. There is a cave with an image of the Virgin of the Immaculate to which the shepherds used to go in ancient times. Today, many inhabitants of Ojén continue to go on a pilgrimage to this small cave hermitage.

Spectacular 👍👍👍😍😍

Precious and hidden sanctuary of the people of Ojén.

Located 600 meters above sea level, this port serves as a viewpoint of the coast and the mountains of Mijas. It is accessible from Benalmádena, Torremolinos and Alhaurín de la Torre, and is a passing point if you are heading to the Calamorro summit.
