October 18, 2023,Huelin - Locos - Buitrera - Humaina - Cochino - Toboganes - Montera - Reina y regreso

Road route to Los Montes, from there all lanes in good condition although quite hard in some sections. The return is by road. The time of the route is moving at a fast pace, so you should calculate a little more time.

June 28, 2025,Buitrera, Cochino, toboganes y pico de la Reina

The classic climb to the Mirador del Cochino, extending to the Fuente de la Reina, first passes through Pico de la Reina, a path normally closed to traffic but open in summer because at the end of the path, on the peak, there is a forest ranger on fire watch. Splendid views of Málaga and the entire region, reaching El …

May 14, 2025,Buitrera, Cochino, Vázquez Sell y Reina

The most classic route through the Montes de Málaga, and one you absolutely have to do 😜 (I've included several photographs of the points of interest)
The first climbs are tough, so I recommend taking it easy and using a large gear to climb at a leisurely pace. There are several flat spots where you can stop and rest if …

August 26, 2024,Buitrera Cochino Toboganes Montera y Reina

A classic pig run along the vulture ridge to which we add a little more, arriving at the Fuente de la Reina by taking a small detour through slides and the Montera.
Minimal technical difficulty, wide lanes and in fairly good condition, I only come out of loose stones in some sections but nothing difficult. The difficulty is marked by …

The descent is all road and leaves us at Fuente Olletas, Paseo de los Curas (port) and we return to Huelin park. All …

August 13, 2024,Cochino 🌜 nocturno 🌜 por la buitrera

Night route to the Mirador del Cochino via La Buitrera, a classic route along wide lanes that are almost entirely in good condition. It is recommended to have done it before during the day, but not essential 😉.
The views from El Cochino at night are beautiful and the route is very quiet and easy to do as it is …

November 20, 2024,Un cochino 🐗 al atardecer

Classic climb to Mirador del Cochino to see the sunset.
The route is demanding due to its slope in some sections but not very technical, everything is on wide paths although somewhat loose.
Today it was time to try out the new GX transmission on the bike, it could not be with any other route than a 🐗 😅

July 30, 2024,Buitrera y cochino

The most classic route through the mountains of Malaga, the Mirador del cochino through the vulture. Little technical difficulty, the beginning and end of the routes is by road and the route through the mountains is wide lanes in good condition, just some loose stone but nothing technical.
The difficulty is determined by the accumulated slope and the distance.
There …
