MTB Montes de Málaga: Full Loop

An epic MTB adventure through the Montes de Málaga. Starting from the capital, you climb past the botanical gardens to the dam before tackling steep, rocky trails to Vendo Miel. The narrative is relentless: unforgiving climbs on weathered trails, sinkholes, loose rocks, and gradients exceeding 20%. It feels like 70km of climbing and 25km of concentrated descent. At 800m altitude, a deceptive plateau offers brief respite before a final brutal climb to Mirador Vázquez Sell. Sanctuary comes at a cost: this is a properly tough ride where you won't see another soul for hours.
