Tourism in Malaga in the middle of nature
Caminito del Rey
One of the places to visit in Malaga is the famous Caminito del Rey. The works of this popular path began in 1901 and include the popular Desfiladero de los Gaitanes in the western part of the Betic Mountain Range. The canyon is formed by walls over 300 meters high and is characterized by being particularly narrow. It is a route nestled in the limestone, at high altitude and over suspension bridges. Are you ready to live the experience?
The Caminito del Rey was built on the walls of the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes and has a length of three kilometres. The width is barely one meter! Be careful when walking! The route begins in the municipality of Ardales, continues through Antequera and ends in El Chorro, where you can take a refreshing dip in a natural pool. El Caminito del Rey is located 100 meters above the river. You can enjoy spectacular views but beware of vertigo.
Ronda, the most beautiful city of Malaga
One of the things to see in Malaga that you can not miss if you visit this Andalusian province is Ronda. Ronda is a municipality and city of Malaga, located northwest of the province, 100 kilometres from the capital. Ronda is characterized by being built along a plateau called Depresión de Ronda and is formed by a mountain range that protects the city.
The origins of Ronda date back to the Roman Arunda, which gave way to the Visigoths and Muslims. But why visit Ronda? Like Caminito del Rey, Ronda sits on a plateau cut by a gorge carved by the Guadalevín river; the buildings and the historic center of the city overhang a hill, so it has spectacular views; it also has a lot of monuments and must-see sites.
If you are in Ronda, be sure to cross the dizzying New Bridge; this is the most symbolic monument of the city and, until 1839, it was the tallest bridge in the world: 98 meters!
Places to visit in Malaga: El Torcal de Antequera
Antequera is a municipality that belongs to Malaga, in the north of the province. If you are passing through, make sure to sign up for a hiking route through the Torcal de Antequera. Although it may seem incredible, it is a straightforward route, the Torcal is 1,300 meters high, but it was once under the sea.
The Torcal de Antequera was formed over the years, rising to create one of the most idyllic and spectacular landscapes of Andalusia. The action of the wind, the water, the sun and the years have sculpted the seabed into a labyrinth of rocks you can dare to walk through. Curiously, in the Torcal de Antequera, you can find several famous rock forms among tourists: a camel, a screw, a flowerpot or a dinosaur. Find them all!
Attractions in Malaga: Teleférico de Benalmádena
One of the tourist attractions in Malaga is Benalmadena, and its cable car. The mountain range of Benalmádena offers great opportunities for trekking and mountain biking lovers; here, you will find a wide network of trails and six routes with views of the Costa del Sol. Some of these trails are the Mina de la Trinidad or Quejigal, which is very vertiginous; there is also the Tajo de la Sabia, ideal for the more adventurous and experts.
One of the places to visit in Malaga is Mount Calamorro, and how to climb the mountain is very easy; you can do it aboard the Benalmadena Cable Car! Once at the top, you can enjoy the different viewpoints and trails; we also invite you to the bird of prey presentations and to discover the flora and fauna of the place. You will be left breathless!
In addition, the summit of Mount Calamorro is the starting point for six different hiking trails. Among these routes is the Sendero de los Muertos (Path of the Dead), in which the visitor will walk along the slopes of Mount Calamorro, with the variants Calamorro and Ermita, which are distinguished by their duration and degree of difficulty.
Why go up in the Benalmádena Cable Car? Because the mountain has an altitude of 770 meters. On the other hand, you can enjoy the beautiful views that include Gibraltar and the coast of Africa.
The best things to do in Malaga
After a day of immersion in nature, we invite you to discover the province's capital. Malaga has a lot to offer to its visitors. A visit to the city's Muelle Uno, which is a must-see. It is ideal for watching the sunset; you can also go shopping at the famous and iconic Calle Larios or have a drink at the popular bar El Pimpi or the brewery Los Gatos.
Be sure to visit the famous tourist attraction Picasso Museum and stop by the Cathedral of Malaga. Finish your visit with a climb to the Alcazaba and its castle, famous for not having a medina inside. You will be surprised to know that the Alcazaba of Malaga is considered one of the most beautiful in Spain and was built on the slopes of Mount Gibralfaro; it has an area of 15,000 square meters! After you visit the Alcazaba, make sure to stop by the Roman Theater of the city.
