Just 20 minutes from the city, the Montes de Malaga Natural Park is a good escape if you want fresh air and quiet. It’s all hills, pine forests, and winding dirt trails — great for walking, cycling, or just taking a break from the coast. If you're lucky, you might spot eagles, owls, or even a wild boar. There’s also a small museum that offers a glimpse into the region's traditional winemaking and olive oil practices. Best accessed by car, though there are also hiking routes that start just outside the city.

A few kilometres outside Málaga in Rincón de la Victoria, this marine cave is one of the few in the world formed by water erosion. It’s small but interesting, with narrow tunnels, odd rock shapes, and some ancient cave paintings. People lived here as far back as the Palaeolithic, and there’s a local legend about hidden treasure — hence the name.

The Basilica of Superga was built by the orders of Duke Vittorio Amedeo II in the 18th century. It is infamous for being the place where the plane carrying the soccer team Toro crashed in the 1940s. Superga is located on top of the hill bordering Turin, from where you have a wonderful view of both the city and the Alps. To get there, you can take a bus, a mountain railway, or a long-distance footpath; hence, it is also the ideal destination for a hike on a clear day. Turin is surrounded by almost 700 km of hiking paths. The Basilica di Superga, along with the Victory Lighthouse at Colle della Maddalena, is one of the most popular destinations for hiking and trekking tours of the region.
