June 30, 2026, Torre del Cantal

The Cantal tower is an old watchtower located on a rocky promontory, about 30 meters above the sea. Of Nasrid or Moorish origin, it was part of the coastal defense system and was used to warn of possible pirate attacks by means of smoke or fire signals. Today it is protected as a Site of Cultural Interest and is one of the best spots to enjoy the coastal views.

"La Conchinita" was the popular name of a small suburban railway in Málaga that connected the city with the Guadalhorce Valley, particularly Coín, at the beginning of the 20th century. The railway was part of the Málaga–Coín line and played an important role in transporting passengers and agricultural products from the surrounding countryside into the city. It likely earned its affectionate nickname due to its small size and leisurely pace, a common practice at the time of giving trains endearments. With the development of road transport, the line gradually lost its importance and was finally closed in the mid-20th century. Today, "La Conchinita" stands as a nostalgic symbol of Málaga's former railway history.

The Torre Vigía de El Cantal is a 14th-century Moorish coastal watchtower that was part of a defense system against pirates. It stands on a rocky outcrop about thirty meters above the sea. The tower is approximately eight to ten meters high, built of stone and limestone, and was used for signaling with smoke and fire. After the Reconquista, it lost its military significance but remained as a landmark. Today, it is protected as a cultural monument ("Bien de Interés Cultural") and offers a breathtaking view of the coast.

The municipality of Benamocarra belongs to the Axarquía region, which offers picturesque landscapes, whitewashed villages and agricultural traditions. The town dates back to the Moorish period of Al-Andalus, falling to the Catholic Monarchs in 1487. Therefore, the village has a rich history with Moorish and Andalusian influences and retains its traditional charm with narrow streets and historic architecture. Benamocarra is a worthwhile destination for a cycling tour, with sights such as the Iglesia de Santa Ana and the Plaza del Calvario. Nearby, detours to Vélez-Málaga with its historic old town and the Castillo are worthwhile.

The Balcón Mirador del Faro de Torrox is an impressive viewpoint in Torrox Costa, located right next to the historic Torrox Lighthouse. From this elevated point, visitors can enjoy stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding coastal landscape. Built at the beginning of the 21st century, the modern platform is made of iron and glass, and its shape represents the bow of a ship. Below the Balcón Mirador lie archaeological remains, which are visible through the glass floor of the viewpoint. Also located nearby is the Centro de Interpretación, an information center that offers visitors insight into the history of the lighthouse and the surrounding region.
