The reservoir La Viñuela northeast of Málaga is a great and especially quiet hiking destination. Apart from shepherds, we hardly met anyone there. If it rains little in the summer / fall, the lake is very dry in December, so you can virtually wander where no one else is on foot.
Attention: In the summer it can get extremely hot!

Today we're hiking along a reservoir. We've chosen the right time of year, and nature is in full bloom.

especially the northern, second part of the route quieter, more scenic, views of the Maroma massif, unfortunately a lot of trash along the water's edge, observed turtles, little to no shade, consistently wide paths, best parking opportunities in spring, easily accessible on A402
