Nature trails and routes in Benalmádena

Benalmádena currently has nearly 45 kilometres of trails leading through the municipality’s most striking natural enclaves: an open door to discovering its geological, zoological, and botanical heritage.

All you need is to lace up your hiking boots and throw a bottle of water in your backpack to set off on routes leading to Mount Calamorro or those that trace the path of the Mina de la Trinidad trail or the Tajo de la Sabia, suitable only for experienced adventurers.

In addition to local itineraries, the Gran Senda de Málaga runs through nine regions and 50 municipalities, and passes through Benalmádena in two sections: Stage 33 (Mijas - Benalmádena) and Stage 34 (Benalmádena - Alhaurín de la Torre).
