More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Engines growl, dust rises in a low cloud, and the ridge of the Sierra de Mijas pushes the horizon toward the Mediterranean. You feel the buggy answer to every dip and rock as the track threads between maquis scrub and pines; riverbeds appear like dry challenges daring you to cross them. A short stop at a mountain viewpoint clears the air — the coast below the course of orange roofs and a glittering sea.
