Hiking


The Axarquia has protected nature reserves, such as Parque Natural Sierras de Tejeda

, which has at least 1200 km of hiking trails. This region is a true paradise for nature lovers.


Of course, there is the world famous.

Caminito Del Rey, once the most dangerous hiking trail in the world, today unfortunately

very busy.


An excellent alternative is little brother.

El Saltillo. Our B&B Casa Pura Vista neighbors can guide you on this walk.


You will find the Raisin Route, the Sun & Avocado Route, the Moorish Route, the Olive Oil & Mountains Route, and the Sun & Wine Route printed in the house.


Biking


It is wonderful cycling in Andalucía. Many climbs are possible, the landscape is varied and lined with white villages, the roads are usually well maintained and wide, and Spaniards drive slowly and carefully.


There are numerous cycling routes for all types of bicycles. You can rent bicycles in Torre Del Mar and deliver them to Aslaurey. Ask for advice about e-bikes from our neighbors of B&B Casa Pura Vista.
