알모지아‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪7‬개의 산길

At the end of the steady climb, where a sign reads El Torcal, you reach the pass, which runs along the western edge of the mountain range of the same name. Just a few kilometers further on, a separate road branches off to the El Torcal de Antequera Natural Park and its visitor center. From here, a sweeping view opens up across the surrounding mountain ranges. The pass lies directly on the main road connecting Antequera and Villanueva de la Concepción, making it a prominent landmark. Many mistake it for the natural park itself, but it actually marks the highest point of the road on the edge of the impressive karst mountains.

The Puerto de El Torcal is the highest point on the road that leads from Villanueva de la Concepción up to Antequera (Carretera de Málaga a Antequera por Villanueva de la Concepción). At the end of the steady climb, where a sign reading El Torcal stands, you reach the pass, which runs along the western edge of the mountain range of the same name. Just a few kilometers further, a separate road branches off to the El Torcal de Antequera Natural Park and its visitor center. From here, a sweeping view of the surrounding mountain ranges opens up. The pass is located directly on the main road between Antequera and Villanueva de la Concepción and is therefore a prominent feature in the landscape. Many mistake it for the natural park itself, but it actually marks the highest point of the road at the edge of the impressive karst mountain range.

Puerto de El Jaral is not only a geographical crossing, but also a quiet viewpoint where the tranquility of nature and the wide view over the Mediterranean landscape combine – a characteristic destination for cyclists and nature lovers alike.

Nice climb from Malaga!

The section between Fuente Reina and the mountain village of Olías offers many wonderful views of the mountains with changing perspectives of the hinterland and the sea - wonderful.

Long but steady climb from Malaga city centre, very nice views from over the city and Med.

One of the HCs around Malaga's mountains, allegedly the most famous one, due to its closeness to the Costa del Sol's city. The climb kicks-off right in the middle of the city center, leaving the town through its nord-east gates, and getting right into the Montes de Malaga natural reserve. The climb is stunning: at times shaded by the trees (not something you can take for granted in the region!), offers stunning views of Malaga and its mountains. The gradient is pretty uneven: after an initial steep section getting out of Malaga, the climb eases its bite, and the central section alternate easier sectors (3-4%) to steeper ones (up to 14%!); there's even some short downhill stretches that will get your legs to recover just long enough to tackle the next section! Arrived to the last 5km, it gets more aggressive: consistently hovering around 8-10%, it leads you past Fuente de La Reina and summit just a few hundreds meters later. Might be a good idea to turn around and ride back to that cafe to refill and recover!
