Itinerary description
A spectacular 2.5 hour walk with great views of the surrounding countryside. The walk starts with a steady climb up to the col of El Hacho, followed by a ridge walk. The downhill sections of the ridge walk can be a little steep in places. After following a pretty path through the woods, the route drops down to a forest track, and the final section is a steady uphill climb back to Gaucin village. Some sections are difficult to navigate without the Wikiloc track.
