말라가‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

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

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!

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.
