The walk takes half a day, which leaves time for the area around it. With a car you can easily make a full day of it, or stay the night.
Ardales reservoirs
The turquoise reservoirs near the north access are popular for a swim, a picnic or renting a pedal boat on a hot afternoon.
El Chorro
The small village at the end of the walk is a well-known climbing base, with a few places to eat after your walk.
Bobastro
The remains of a rock-cut church from the 9th and 10th centuries, a short and winding drive from El Chorro, with wide views.
Antequera and El Torcal
Antequera has UNESCO-listed Bronze Age dolmens, and nearby El Torcal is a landscape of strangely eroded limestone with marked walking trails.
Ronda and the white villages
Ronda is further, but a good next stop on a road trip. See our day trips from Málaga and the 7-day road trip.
