A bit harder trip to region called Axarquia. You will get enough elevation during first 50 km.
From the center of Malaga follow as always streets Calle Victoria / Cristo de la Epidemia / Camino Colmenar to meet road A-7000 or MA-345 (depends on the map) to climb pass Puerto del Leon. After 20 km turn right for Olias / Comares through MA-166 and on the next crossroad left for Comares.
This road MA-3111 will lead you along majestic peak Santopitar (1020 m.a.s.) with views over Axarquia region and impressive range of mountains Sierra de Almijara with its top peak Maroma (2065 m.a.s.). All the time you will enjoy nice asphalt untill Comares. Strong climb through white village worth so much!!! Views are excellent, tapas and coffee too.
Then go a bit back and left down on MA-3105 and in the valley turn right for Benamargosa / Velez-Malaga / Torre del Mar. Since that point you will have passed all hills. In Torre del Mar turn right taking coastal road N-340 through Rincon de la Victoria and El Palo to Malaga.
