This spectacular cable car that takes you from just outside Tivoli to the peak of the Calamorro Mountain, rising up 724 metres, where the panorama is spectacular, with views on a clear day as far as the Rock of Gibraltar and the Coast of Morocco.
This is one of the best-known new attractions on the coast - not because of the number of people who have made the trip - but due to its route, which soars above one of the busiest sections of the main highway linking Málaga to the Costa del Sol´s major sun-kissed resorts.
The views are stunning as the ride carries passengers to the summit of the looming Calamorro mountain.
At the top of the mountain there is a bar, small souvenir shop and several different hiking trails that vary in their level of difficulty. The footpaths are excellent and well sign-posted. There is plenty of camera-clicking scenery and the air is scented with the smell of wild herbs, such as thyme and rosemary.
The telecabin ride is certainly one of the best ways to explore the stunning and little known back country of the Costa del Sol.
The highest point above sea level is at 724 metres - roughly twice as high as the Eiffel Tower and two-and-a-half times the Empire State Building. Your trip to the top is 2,646 metres at an average speed of 4 metres per second, taking a total of 12 minutes. Each cabin can hold four people.
