Itinerary description

Be aware of the dogs!

I followed one of the Gaucín smugglers route. It’s very beautiful- but I had to turn around half way because of guard dogs that was barking angrily. I needed to go trough a gate and enter their area and I didn’t want to risk two angry dogs.

When that’s said it’s was really beautiful and I really like the route event though it end up walking back and forth in the same route.

I can see a lot of others managed to walk the full circle so I guess I wed just unlucky with the dogs!

But I would recommend this half version as well because of the lovely scenery and beautiful view!
