Mirador del Monte Victoria

Hiking · Málaga (La Victoria)

About

• Viewpoint about 160 m above the city, with views of Málaga, the port, Gibralfaro and the hills
• One of the best places to watch the sunset in Málaga
• Much less touristy than Gibralfaro

Good to know

• There are two ways up: by the stone path (steeper and prettier) or by the road (easier); go up by the path and come down by the road
• Bring water and shoes with a proper sole: the final stretch is dirt
• Go at sunset and come down with a head torch or your phone torch
