Itinerary description

This is an easy walk with wonderful views all around.

We parked our car at an available spot on the road after passing Barranco Hondo but discovered that at the end of this road, where the dirt road takes over there is enough parking space. This will mean 1.4 km. and100 altitude metres less climbing across a road.

Moreover, on our way back, when we were almost at the end of the dirt road, we took a track down to the north that would take us back to our car but after 1.3km. we were chased off the track by the owners of a brown/red house because we were tresspassing as they said. They claimed we were on private property.

The walk itself is avery pleasant one indeed and the buddhist temple was a quite unexpected nice surprise.
