Viewpoint of Hondonero Alto, Villanueva del Rosario (Unique Site)
Recommended month to visit it: April.
At the feet of the Sierra de los Camarolos and Sierra del Jobo, whose limestone landscapes possess great natural beauty, we find Villanueva del Rosario, the former Puebla del Saucedo, in the Northeastern region of Málaga. Among spectacular mountain ranges, this municipality has an superb potential for mountain sports thanks to the many and varied climbing areas near the town.
If we leave the town through the Fuente Alta, we will soon find the Overlook of Hondonero, a place from where we can start several routes: towards Dehesa de Hondonero, towards the Sierra de Camarolos and toward the source of the Cerezo river.
From the Overlook of Hondonero one can enjoy extraordinary sights of the mountain range of Villanueva del Rosario and the neighbouring Sierra de San Jorge and Sierra Gorda.
