About
- The "no-hiking" version of Sierra Bermeja: in under an hour you can drive almost to the top
- Puerto de Peñas Blancas (960 m), about 30 min from Estepona
- Mirador Salvador Guerrero, a few hundred metres' walk from the last car park, with views over Estepona and the coast
- Picnic area with tables and the Refugio de los Reales (open weekends and public holidays)
Good to know
- Pick a clear day: in fog you can't see anything
- Narrow road (30 km/h) with a drop on one side
- Barbecues are not allowed from 1 June to 15 October
- Bring a jacket: up top the temperature is much lower than at the beach
