Itinerary description
Follow the A7 and take exit 169, A7175 to Benahavis. As you enter Benahavis take the first exit onto Av. Iscal Luis Portero Garia. This road turns to the right and becomes Av. La Moraleda. Go along here for 450m then turn right into Calle Huerta de Rufino. Or just follow the signs for the Gran Hotel!
Walk Description –
The walk is of medium difficulty. The first part is level and easy walking, overlooking the river, so if walkers wish to undertake a more gentle walk they can walk part of the way and return along the same route.
We begin a short distance from the reservoir, which we cross at the first bridge. We then walk alongside the river on the western side. After 3k we start our climb, 150m over 1k, on a rocky but wide path. This is the most difficult section but we can take our time and the views are well worth the effort.
We return downhill and after 1.5k we reach our original path and wreturn following our original route, until we reach the reservoir when we cross the upstream bridge and follow the eastern side of the river back to the cars.

Ruta muy bonita con algunas vistas espectaculares. En algún momento la subida es un poco dura pero merece la pena.
Recomendable.
