Itinerary description

4 days on the GR92 Spain Trail, May 2019
Trail along the coast of the Natural Park of Cabo de Gata in Andalucia (64.5 km)

One of my favourite trail :D

Difficulty is moderate but the first day is the longest (26 km between Cabo de Gata and San José), optional ascension of the Cerro del Fraile volcano during day 2
(If you ascend the volcano, be careful during the descent, path is not clearly defined)

DAY 1 - Cabo de Gata to San José (26.6 km - elevation gain 620m)
DAY 2 - San José to Los Escullos (8.3 km - elevation gain 649 m)
DAY 3 - Los Escullos to Las Negras (17.4 km - elevation gain 381m)
DAY 4 - Las Negras to Agua Amarga (14.5 km - elevation gain 569 m)
TOTAL : 64.5 km - Elevation Gain 2219 m

    Hola Micien,
    Me gustaria hacer esa ruta durante las navidades. Mi pregunta es la siguiente: hay transportes locales que nos permite volver al principio de la ruta una vez acabada?
