Alan Grant<p>Today we have a new member of Malaga's "100+ steps club": Calle Obispo Fernando de Algaria (La Mosca), with 133 steps over 3 sections. </p><p>The club consists of named streets in the city of Malaga with a total ´step_count´ of 100 or more in OSM data. Currently it has 8 members. As only 15% of ´highway=steps´ have a step_count, there may be quite a few more.</p><p>133 steps is impressive but falls short of Calle Denamiel de Castro, which has 143 steps in a single gruelling flight.</p><p><a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/OpenStreetMap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenStreetMap</span></a> <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/malaga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>malaga</span></a></p>
