The route

You leave Antequera heading south and gain height with the vega (fertile plain) behind you. The road climbs between olive groves and cereal fields until it enters the sierra, and near the top the limestone rock formations of the Torcal natural site appear, with their blocks stacked up like towers. It's a sustained climb but without extreme ramps, good for finding your rhythm. Get water and coffee in Antequera before you set off; at the top, next to the visitor centre, you can stop to see the karst on foot (bikes aren't allowed on the site's paths). Best in spring and autumn: in summer the sun is fierce and in winter there can be fog and cold at the top.
