벨레즈 말라가‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

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.

In front of this small sacred monument called the "Cruz de Pinto Shrine," the following thoughts from Pope Francis – who died on Easter Monday 2025 – may be helpful to those who linger on the summit after the ascent: + "In the Resurrection of Christ, each of our destinies finds its place in the infinite horizon of eternity. Only from his death and resurrection does the certainty arise that nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God [as the Apostle Paul writes in his Letter to the Romans, chapter 8]. From this great hope comes every other glimmer of light with which we can overcome life's trials and obstacles. And not only that: the Risen One also walks with us and becomes our companion, as with the disciples on the road to Emmaus."

Drinking water from the fountain, cafe/ bar right next door.

Good quality water

This hike is fun even for teenagers! A great canyon, with numerous small stream crossings, and stunning views. Shoes with treads are highly recommended, and keep in mind: there are two ascents and two descents: down into the canyon, up the mountain, back down into the canyon, and up to the village. Overall, a varied hike.

We really enjoyed the tour up the riverbed and back along the aqueduct. We did the tour on April 2, 2025. You can find the tour dates in my profile. Just enter SPAIN 🇪🇸 in the search bar.

A mythical spot and a must-see, this majestic fountain only carries water in winter, but it's still very beautiful.

In March 2025 there was a lot of water flowing, a trip is then only possible with suitable water shoes. We did not have that and returned.
