Itinerary description

This is a nice walk in a little known corner of Cartama municipality. It has lovely views of the Guadalhorce valley and the Sierra de las Nieves. We started in the village but be aware that the streets are very narrow and parking can be difficult, so take care. I have classed it as a moderate walk but if you use poles, have them with you, as they will be useful on some of the slopes. Take no notice of the two V's in the profile, they could put you off, as I think it is where we are close to a deep valley and the GPS is not too accurate!
