Nice and stronger loop for those staying close to Marbella, nice km and significant elevation. Basically this is a loop around Sierra de las Nieves mountain range.
From Marbella start direction west on N-340 until you meet highway, at that moment ride closer beach and over back roads in Puerto Banus. It only looks complicated. Then in San Pedro take the road to Ronda A-397 for half of the day. Nice climb over 20 km and 1st pass Puerto del Madronal ahead. From this pass over undulated section come descent to Ronda. Go through city as it is nice and even gastronomy is impressive.
After break take direction to another pass called Puerto del Viento, the highest point of the day. Any 8 km from Ronda, as the city is located on altitude, road A-366. After comes long descent to El Burgo village, in between pines and rocks, really really nice section. Remember to take camera with. From El Burgo and on the same road starts other climb to pass Puerto de Abejas, shorter but effort will be needed. On the top you will find village Yunquera and again down to Alozaina.
At the beginning of Alozaina turn right still over road A-366. Any 6 km before Coin there is turn for Guaro + Monda, road A-7100. Nice scenery on quiet back road before you reach last pass.
Leaving Monda, there is last pass left, Puerto de Ojen, nice wide road with superb surrounding forest. Getting closer to Marbella the traffic is rising and the last section of downhill is busy.
Over N-340 you come back to starting point, El Corte Ingles shop.
