La Concha, Marbella, Malaga
If you want to combine beach and mountain with your holiday, then conquering La Concha mountain is the option for you. This peak of the beautiful Sierra Blanca mountain range is the mountain that protects Marbella and gives the area its unique microclimate. The mountain looks a little like a large shell, hence its name La Concha. The climb to the top takes around 3 hours. The views at the top are amazing! You can see out across the coast, the Mediterranean and on to Africa! It’s a very special route.
For camping, we recommend: Campsite Cabo Pino.
This site is east of Marbella, but the sea. Cabo Pino, meaning cape of pines, is just that – a small peninsula of protected landscape covered in pine trees. It’s close to Marbella yet feels worlds away. You can enjoy great facilities and spend a day resting those weary legs on some of the best beaches of the Costa del Sol.
Caminito de Rey, El Chorro, Malaga
Whilst still in Malaga province, we must mention the Caminito del Rey, the Kings little footpath. This vertiginous hiking route where much of the way clings to the sheer mountainside, was once considered the world’s scariest walkway! Now it’s been fully restored and is a great family day out – suitable for kids from 8 years and older.
The route is on elevated walkways and on paths that run through the natural river gorge – it’s spectacular scenery, that is only accessible by taking the caminito.
