How to Get There:
Unless you happen to be in the northern part of the province the best route is to leave the city of Málaga by the A-6103, popularly known as the Carretera de Colmenar (Colmenar Road). This is the old and formerly the only way to get to the interior of Andalusia (Seville, Córdoba, Granada) and the rest of Spain. The road is an unbroken succession of curves but it is worth it for the view it provides of the bay and mountains of Málaga. Another possibility is to take the expressway towards Antequera (N-331) and once you have passed Casabermeja to turn onto the A-356. The scenery is very beautiful here also, especially after leaving the expressway, but it is another type of landscape.
