Itinerary description

From Gaucin, past Finca Paraiso and the metal bridge, to the Jarraqueque estate. Up to the Molino del Capitan track and all the way along various tracks to the water trough junction. Back to the main road at the Jarraqueque pillar. At a slow pace and enjoying the scenery.

I attempted to find a way up the bank to the track above but it was too overgrown so I came back.

Junction - go left and uphill.

I took right hand junction and then changed my mind as it was going downhill. I then took the left hand junction, uphill, which goes to the water trough junction. The right hand junction would meet up with the main Jarraqueque track later, opposite the Finca Avedin route, and it would come out at a wpg slightly up a slope.
