Itinerary description
Following as close as possible to the water line.
There are 5 difficult tracts where a little climbing or jumping rock to rock is needed, fishers use these paths.
High mountains avoid north winds here, so temperatures never go below 0ºC.
Since the date I posted this route a regression of the beach has occured in the delta of the Guadalfeo River, that is consequence of the construction of the Rules dam. I´ve realized this taking a look to the map.
At last in Calahonda I suggest to make it back by sailing.

******* Hotel 7* class.
From the port of Marina del Este you can access to a little beach that give pass to the first rocky tract and maybe the most difficult part of the trail to go up out because of the pricky plants. A resort called Bahia Fenicia is being constructed here. Since I posted the track a way has been constructed from the port up to the old way. This makes it much easier and avoids the crosscountry section designed then.

BUENAS TARDES:
esta ruta según dice la aplicación ha sido diseñada sobre el ordenador y no ha sido sobre el terrerno. Señor Dalxar podría usted decirme ¿si efectivamente la ha recorrido usted sobre el terreno y si es factible hacerla gente normal.?
gracias por su atención
Buenas. Al cabo de los años revisando mis rutas me acabo de dar cuenta de su comentario. Ya que se dice que más vale tarde que nunca le comento que efectivamente no diseño las rutas con aparatitos gps modernos sino dibujándolas sobre las fotos aéreas. Eso si, nunca subo ninguna que no haya realizado personalmente. En cuanto a dificultad-factibilidad ya digo (en inglés) que es difícil, y lo de gente normal es subjetivo, yo no me considero un atleta, alpinista, ni nada parecido, pero si que es peliagudo recorrer algunos tramos pendientes, con matorral (pinchos), campo través.
