The Guadalhorce is a typical Mediterranean river. It rises in the Betic Cordillera and flows through an agricultural valley. Before its mouth, the river divides into two branches that shape the delta and the lagoon landscape. In the past, there were floods that were mitigated by river regulation and the construction of dams. Nevertheless, the renaturation and protection of the estuary is a focus of regional environmental policy.

Los Guindos Chimney
Highlight • Monument
Today this chimney is a striking landmark on the coast of Málaga and a relic of the city's industrial past. It not only represents the history of the Los Guindos district, but also the economic development of the region in the 20th century. The area around the chimney has been integrated into a promenade and is now a popular destination and a great photo point!

La Farola of Málaga
Highlight • Monument
The lighthouse itself is about 38 meters high and has a very characteristic cylindrical shape, making it an unmistakable element of the Malaga skyline. Especially at sunset, the area around the lighthouse offers beautiful views of the sea and the city. A great destination for a tour in Malaga.

Guadalhorce Footbridge
Highlight (Segment) • Bridge
Made from sustainable wood, the bridge blends harmoniously into the environment and is a good example of environmentally friendly infrastructure. It not only provides a functional crossing of the river, but also a place where visitors can enjoy the views of the nature reserve and the sea. Riding on the bridge by bike is a real experience in itself!
