ROUTE 6 -Another black route not for most of our Sierra clients.
Length: 12km. | Height (AMSL): 950m.
This ride starts from the very top of the telecom towers at the summit of Mijas mountain (approx. 950m above sea level).
Route 6, known locally as “911”, begins just a little further up from our Full Telecom ride. Instead of dropping into Mijas, this one takes you down the opposite side of the mountain all the way to the village of Benalmádena, where our minibus will be waiting.
The descent is an absolute blast with a bit of everything: smooth flowing forest lines, sections of fixed rocks, loose rocky bits, and a few sketchy deep sandy corners that keep you on your toes.
It’s a proper technical trail with some steep, gnarly sections that definitely require good bike control and a bit of experience.
But trust us — it’s totally worth it! Expect big smiles, adrenaline, and some absolutely stunning views over the coast and mountains as you drop nearly 950 metres in one epic descent.
At the bottom, you can choose: shuttle back up for another lap or head straight back to base in Fuengirola with that post-ride glow.
