Traveler reviews
Summer Sound
★★★★★4 years agoWild place with a great view to Málaga city and mountains on other side. There are almost no people. Rocks on the top are huge, place in general looks like a canyon. Absolutely crazy and incredible landscape, totally worth to visit. Pretty easy climbing, about 30 min from the city center.
Shane Troughton
★★★★★4 years agoA moderate hike to a beautiful cliff overlooking the entire city. Don't really need a lot of experience hiking to make it up but bringing lots of water is a great idea. Really won't regret anything with the view you will get.
