Cruz en el Monte San Antón
Metal summit cross reached by a hillside trail, framing sweeping coastal views across the city below.
This guide to the summit cross on Monte San Antón in Málaga opens with San Estanislao de Kotska, a teenage Jesuit novice who died in Rome centuries before schoolboys carrying his school's name ever climbed this ridge. It follows the pupils of Málaga's Colegio San Estanislao de Kotska on an ordinary excursion that turned into an attempt to claim the summit, hauling a wooden cross nearly five hundred meters up loose rock and scrub. You'll hear what happened to that first cross, and the ones that followed it, against the wind and winter rain. Look east and west from the top for views stretching toward Gibraltar and the African coast.
