Hi, in the spring I'll be going on a family holiday to La Cala de Mijas. I'll be taking my road bike and will probably have around 5–7 days of riding available.

I'm thinking one or two longer rides of 100–160 km, with the rest somewhere between 30–80 km.

I'm keen to ride Cerro del Moro, as well as Puerto de Ojén from Marbella and Puerto del Madroño from San Pedro de Alcántara.

My main concern is avoiding the A-7 when riding to and from the latter two climbs. It seems quite difficult, if not impossible, to reach Marbella and San Pedro using asphalt roads without having to use the A-7 for at least part of the journey.

Has anyone managed to ride from La Cala to Marbella or San Pedro while avoiding the A-7 completely? I'd really appreciate any route suggestions or advice on quieter roads in the area. Thanks!
