Torre del Mar sits at the foot of the Sierra de Tejeda and the Sierra de Almijara — two of the most underrated walking ranges in Andalucía. Four hikes that consistently earn the trip, from a flat coastal loop to the highest peak in the province.
An easy 4 km flat loop from Playa de Levante into the Paraje Natural Desembocadura del Río Vélez — reedbeds, herons, flamingos in season.
The classic Axarquía downhill walk — from the whitewashed village of Frigiliana down through olive and almond groves to the coast at Nerja.
La Maroma (2,069 m) is the highest peak in Málaga province. A long, exposed day from El Alcázar near Alcaucín with views from the sea to the Sierra Nevada.
A spectacular free alternative to the Caminito del Rey — a hanging footbridge over a gorge in the Sierra de Tejeda, looped from Canillas de Aceituno.
