How to Get There:
From the old highway N-340 get onto the A-366 in the direction of Coín. It will take you straight to Alhaurín el Grande. From the city of Málaga, take the Cártama road (A-357), and when you get there take the MA-425, which leads to Alhaurín el Grande. Another option from the Western Costa del Sol is to get off the Mediterranean Expressway and, between Benalmádena and Fuengirola, get onto the A-368 in the direction of Mijas. It connects afterwards with the A-366. This is a winding mountain road but is well paved and offers extraordinary scenic views both of the coast and, after crossing the Mijas mountain range, of the Guadalhorce valley. |
