View of Málaga from Montes de Málaga Natural Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of the best views of Malaga city from the mountains without having to climb too high. This point is located halfway along the route known as the "Llanos" because it is one of the lanes with the lowest gradient and slopes, at the cost of doing more kilometers and a detour but as I say less incline. It is a typical route for those who rarely go out on the bike. After the steep slopes at the entrance to the Montes, taking this detour with less gradient and finding these wonderful views is worth a little rest and some photos.

Views of Málaga

Highlight • Viewpoint

This point offers beautiful views of the city of Malaga. In the central part of the photo you can see the "Boticario Lane", the main climb of the Montes and from which you have to turn left to get to this point, along the lane called "los Llanos" or "Gay route" that make a very affordable bike rodeo, ideal for shooting without a very high effort, later you have another favorite marked spot, also with very good views.

Junction "valla de la vieja"

Highlight • Trail

This intersection has a detour marked with a "dead end" sign because it climbs up to a fence known as "the old woman's fence" because "legend has it" that an elderly woman used to confront the many cyclists who dared to cross it to shorten the route to Jotron. I've never seen it, but it's true that this fence exists, and if you cross it, you can reach Jotron much faster (be careful, there's another fence with a gate halfway along the route that requires you to carry your bike up the hill and high, making it difficult to pass without assistance).
In any case, it's worth climbing a section of this lane if you want to enjoy some of the best panoramic views of the city of Málaga from the mountains. I didn't do it today and continued along the plains lane (Lagar de Contreras) until reaching the junction with the main lane and climbing towards the Humaina Hotel and, later, the Mirador del Cochino.

Junction towards El Cochino Viewpoint

Highlight • Trail

This crossing is famous for being an obligatory stop point on the route to the Hotel Humaina (the pig, Vázquez Sell viewpoint, etc.) if you are going to continue climbing, or continue your to / from Los Llanos to Boticario.
