A magnificent viewpoint with a unique natural setting. The water of the reservoirs shimmers a truly turquoise color, offering incredible views. There is a parking lot not far away. Mirador de los Tres Embalses (Viewpoint of the Three Reservoirs): Located at the confluence of the Turón, Guadalteba, and Guadalhorce reservoirs, the viewpoint offers a panoramic view of the various dams and hydroelectric power plants of the El Chorro water network. This viewpoint was originally built as a topographical checkpoint during construction in the early 20th century.

At the end of the loop, we climb towards the lookout surrounded by wooden barriers. This is the end of the loop: Return by road, no longer marked GR path.

This is what it must have looked like everywhere here in the past... relatively quiet and well-paved roads with few modern finca factory products and lots of old houses, gently rolling hills with a wide variety of options. Maybe even up to Alhaurín Golf Club?? if so, then almost certainly with gravel and rough concrete roads... unfortunately I didn't have time to try it.

Great photo point! The Embalse del Conde de Guadalhorce is one of the most famous and picturesque reservoirs in the province of Málaga. It is located in the Ardales region and is part of a network of reservoirs that contribute to the water supply and irrigation in the area. Together with the neighboring Guadalteba and Gaitanejo reservoirs, it forms the so-called Pantano del Chorro. The reservoir has an impressive body of water surrounded by dense pine forests and rocky landscapes. It is used for water supply, irrigation and partly for generating electricity. There are hiking and cycling trails around the reservoir that lead through the beautiful nature and pine forests. There are numerous picnic areas.

There are still numerous towers along the Costa del Sol today. They were built to protect the bay from the Barbary states, who not only plundered the coastal villages but also enslaved them. Many towers were already built by the Moors. The tower of Mijas is of a “newer” type and is more in keeping with the fortress architecture of the 18th century
