Itinerary description

14 04 2019

This walk starts from the Tourist office / Multi story car park in Mijas Pueblo.

Head through the Plaza Virgen de la Pena and up Calle San Sebastian, and climbing some steps. Which leads up to the A 387. On your right and crossing the road you will see a ramp and hand rail where a lot of the Mijas walks start.


The grading of this circular walk is Medium.

Underfoot it is very stony and rocky for half of the walk. There is an up of about 40 minutes before levelling off and then descending down again.

Part of the walk uses the A 387 road for about half a kilometre, so take care on the bends.

Stop off at bar El Nino for tapas, before heading back to the car park.
