Itinerary description
I recommend the walk in this direction because the descent from the Refugio to the road can be too difficult for anyone a bit timid or with vertigo. Ascending the steep rocky trail is easier for my wife and I than descending.

Start
Well marked path from the main road. Except we missed it and walked 40 minutes more than we needed to :-(

The trail gets tougher around here. Some steep climbs where your good walking boots repay their price

Amazing views around here. To the south is Casares, Gibraltar and Jebel Musa in Morocco

Intersection
Civilisation approaches. There is a carpark but no facilities. Its a long gentle walk back to Casares from here. Or a short drive if you left a car here

A gentle descent through woods and fincas. Look out for the lonely donkey and pause to say hello and pass the time of day

There are many chances to reflect on the beauty of the Sierra Crestellina and how you was walking up there just an hour ago

Back to the car park. Straight ahead to restaurant Sarmiento, expensive but great quality and you deserve it. Or down into the town where the prices are lower and the food is still good

Ruta moderada.
Último tramo algo difícil por la bajada rocosa.
Belleza paisajística muy alta.
Muy recomendable sobre todo en meses de primavera.
Verdad. Es cierto que en su mayor parte es facil. Para el ascenso al refugio desde la carretera o la bajada de ella mi esposa dice que es extremadamente difícil y yo digo moderste 🤣
