The intense summer sun in Málaga makes you think about where to go and find a shady, cool resting spot with shallow pools and short waterfalls. With trails opening, it is safe to go hiking. Let’s dive into a refreshing trail in Málaga, after COVID lockdown.
A short day trip from Málaga in Southern Andalusia, you will find a hidden gem, Barranco Blanco, an area of outstanding natural beauty between Alhaurín El Grande and Coín. The name means ‘White Ravine’ and comes from the white limestone rocks covering the vegetation.

A refreshing trail in Málaga, after COVID lockdown is one of our half-day hiking tours. The trail is apparently currently closed due to COVID-19, as it appears in Google Maps, but it is not. In fact, we did this hike a couple of times in July and August.
