Itinerary description

This walk starts from the parking area near the Arenales quarry in Mijas.

It is a linear walk, so you need someone else to drop you off and pick you up at the other end, which is what I did.

It's a longish walk but most of it is downhill. Underfoot it can get very rocky and stony at times, so a good pair of walking boots is advisable.

I ended the walk at the BP petrol station cafeteria for a snack and well earned drink.


You get some really wonderful views on this walk
