At the top of Torrecilla the reward is fantastic. In the background the Mediterranean coast with the bay of the city of Malaga at the mouth of the Guadalhorce river valley. On clear days the views reach the coast of Morocco.

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.
