Adventure Motorbike Route Through El Torcal and Antequera – A Scenic Ride in the Montes de Málaga

Experience stunning rock formations, charming Andalusian towns, and scenic mountain roads on this unforgettable adventure motorbike route.

This off-road motorbike route through the Montes de Málaga offers the perfect blend of natural beauty, rural charm, and Andalusian culture. One of the highlights along the way is El Torcal, an otherworldly rock formation located just outside Villanueva de la Concepción.

Like many white villages in Andalusia, Villanueva de la Concepción has a local meeting spot where motorbikers often pause for a break. Bar Oasis, just off the main road, is known for its friendly atmosphere and weekend paella—a popular stop before the climb to El Torcal.

Only 6 km from the village, the ride to El Torcal Natural Park winds upward through scenic mountain curves. Riders can park at the visitor center, where detailed information is available along with access to several walking trails through the bizarre and beautiful limestone formations. Formed over millions of years, the landscape feels like something from another planet—making it a must-see on any motorbike tour in Andalusia.

From El Torcal, the route turns off-road, cutting through olive groves, grain fields and quiet countryside paths en route to Antequera. This historic city is known for its striking Spanish architecture, including an impressive Alcazaba, elegant convents, and traditional whitewashed houses. A short cultural walk offers a glimpse into Andalusia’s layered past, while local tapas bars provide the perfect stop to rest and refuel.

This ride combines smooth tarmac, off-road excitement, and unforgettable views. Ideal for adventurous riders looking for a well-balanced loop with both natural highlights and cultural stops, it’s one of the more rewarding routes in the Montes de Málaga region
