Itinerary description

13 01 2020
Ruta Azul y Ramal Fuente del Lobo, Alhaurin el Grande.

This walk starts at the edge of the Camino Forestal where there is ample off road parking.
You can drive up to the official start of the walk but the road is better suited to a 4*4.
To reach the start of ruta Azul you have to follow ruta Naranja until yo get to Llano Bosnio.
The first 2.2Km from here is uphill all the way. It is a good workout. I was pleasantly surprised what a lovely walk this is. A shortcut has been added to the last quarter of the walk which is very scenic and has a steepish descent for 50m. If you miss this shortcut which is a sharp right turn you will still arrive back to Llano Bosnio on the main path.

I added an optional extension - Ramal Fuente del Lobo which was very pleasant. (Ideal for walking your dog). On that note I did not spot a single processionary caterpillar or nest in the trees at all.

    La ruta fue agradable y era tal como estaba valorado. Algunos pasos estaban regular por desprendimiento de piedras pero podimos pasar. Vimos jaballies.
