코마레스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪10‬개의 천연기념물

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

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.

The Fuente de la Reina is located on a winding mountain road, with some steep climbs, that connects Málaga with the Montes de Málaga. It is a popular stop for cyclists as it offers a natural water source. This historic spring has an impressive stone facade with a lion's head from which water flows. It is an ideal place to take a break, fill up with water and enjoy the views of the surrounding nature. The route through the Montes de Málaga is scenic!

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.

Recreational area with a large space, more than 20 tables. It also has grills (more than 10) although there are times when they cannot be used due to the risk of fire. There are toilets on one side, an important detail to be comfortable and enjoy the day. Access is all by road, we must reach the Fuente de la Reina (DO NOT cut through the Mirador del Cochino, which is a dirt track). Precisely going up to the Mirador del Cochino is one of the most recommended activities if you come to this recreational area. Finally, it should be noted that it has plenty of space to park cars and that right in front is the Hotel Humaina, in case we need something (cafeteria/bar).
