From train station take main road going over the bridge to Malaga untill 1st roundabout and turn for city Valle del Abdalajis through A-343. Behind quarter Barriada Belavista (any 3kms) there you have to follow signs for hermitage Ermita de las Tres Cruces, so turn right. The road starts as an asphalt one but after few kms it become to be muddy road for long time even full of stones. You will cycle and climb between sharp and deep valleys almost gorges. There is a lot of 'small' crossroads but you still keep on through widest route up and up!!! After any 10 km you will fing hermitage and asphalt road again, but it is only to make pictures.


Turn back for 500 meters and then turn right for Almogia. Another hour of cycling between amazing land of sunshine or land of nobody. Finally you will come to local road MA-424.
