Departure from Antequera (Malaga)
A walk in El Torcal Natural Park in the municipality of Antequera. This route winds its way through huge rock formations. The elevation gain is minimal, so it is suitable for children.
For early risers, it is possible to park in the car park at the foot of the Del Torcal Astronomical Observatory building (free of charge). When the car park is full, you will need to park at the start of the road leading up to the observatory. There is a shuttle bus service.

Very difficult
Departure from Nerja (Malaga)
This route is a round trip from the car park located just before the entrance to the Nerja caves. The path is wide and stony. After a little over 6 km, you will arrive at Cortigo de la Sibila (ruins), the last flat area before tackling the 4 km climb to the summit. You need to be more careful before the summit as there are fewer signs. Look for the blue or red markings and the mounds of stones (cairns). At the summit there is a cross. You have a view of the coast (Nerja, Maro, Torrox...) and the Sierra Nevada if the sky is clear. The return journey is via the same route.
