About

🌄 The hike begins at Juanar lodge car park and follows well-marked PR-A 432 signs; in roughly three hours you gain 300 m to reach the 1 130 m summit. 🌲 Along the way you cross Aleppo-pine woods dotted with holm oaks, strawberry trees and aromatic scrub of rosemary and lavender on the north flank. 👀 From the top enjoy sweeping views of Marbella’s coastline to the south and the Sierra de las Nieves National Park to the north — rated among Andalusia’s best scenic spots. 🦌 The circular route descends the rocky ridge to link Corzo and Macho Montés viewpoints, prime sites for spotting Iberian ibex and eagles, before looping back to Juanar.
