Cañada de las Ánimas

Highlight • Forest

The path enters the Cañada de las Ánimas and crosses a forest of centuries-old Spanish firs with their unique, bulging and twisted trunks and branches with spirally arranged leaves. The Sierra de las Nieves National Park is famous for its Spanish firs, an endemic fir from southern Spain that only grows naturally in a few mountain ranges in Málaga and Cádiz. It has survived the last ice ages and is a true botanical and forestry relic.

Pilar de Tolox

Highlight • Natural Monument

At 1700 meters above sea level, the Pilar de Tolox is the highest spring in the entire province of Málaga. It is believed to have Roman origins, and for centuries it was a mandatory stopping point for shepherds and flocks. From this point begins the toughest section of the ascent to the Torrecilla peak, the highest peak in Málaga.

April 6, 2025,wir sehen Afrika - auf den Pico Torrecillas

Today, the 1,919-meter-high Pico Torrecillas awaited us in the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park.
