Itinerary description
La última vez que hicimos senderismo en Juanar, nos hemos quedado con ganas de subir a la Cruz. Así que fuimos otra vez para hacer la Cruz, el Salto del Lobo y la Concha. Empezamos la ruta en el parking a lado de la verja de entrada. Después de disfrutar del paseo por el busque y el olivar empezamos a subir hacia la Cruz por el lado oeste. La subida no presenta mayor dificultad pero hay que andar con cuidado entre las piedras y los pedruscos en el camino. Al llegar a la señal (3) decidimos continuar hacia la Concha. Esta parte de la ruta goza de vistas extraordinarias de la Costa por un lado y de las montañas por el otro. Descansamos en el Salto del Lobo, donde hay una vista panorámica del la montaña, uno de las pocas vistas que quedan donde no se ve ninguna casa ni edificio. Como algunos del grupo decidieron no pasar por la parte peligrosa entre el Salto y la Concha, hemos cambiado de planes, volviendo por el mismo camino hasta llegar otra vez al cruce, desde donde empezamos la subida a la Cruz de Juanar. Un camino que requiere mucho cuidado, pero lo hemos conquistado. Otra vez hay vistas de 360 grados desde el Torcal por un lado hasta Gibraltar por el otro. La bajada es difícil y peligrosa hasta llegar otra vez al bosque, y el camino hasta la verja. Una ruta variada y preciosa, apto para senderistas ágiles y experimentados. Vale la pena. Nuestro guía fue Miguel Ángel Robles.
The last time we hiked in Juanar, we regretted not climbing to the Cross. For that reason we went again to do the route of the Juanar Cross, the Salto del Lobo (the Wolf's Jump) and La Concha (the Shell). We started the route from beside the gate at the car park. After enjoying a delightful walk through the forest and the Olive grove, we began to climb to the Cross by the West side. The ascent presents no real difficulties, but care must be taken to negotiate ones way through the boulders and rocky surface. When we arrived at the sigh (3) we decided to continue towards the Concha. This part of the route enjoys spectacular views of the Costa on one side and the mountains on the other. We reested at the Wolf's Jump where there are panoramic views of the mountain, one of the few places existing where you can not see any houses or buildings. As some of the group decided not to risk crossing the very dangerous part between the Wolf's Jump and the Concha, we changed our plans, returning by the same route to the crossing of the paths, from where we began our climb to the Juanar Cross. A pathway which demands a lot of care, but we made it. Again there are 360 degree views, from the Torcal right around to Gibraltar. The descent is difficult and dangerous until we arrive again to the forest, and the pathway back to the parking. A beautiful route with many variations, suitable for experience and agile hikers only. It's well worth while. Our guide was Miguel Angel Robles.
