Itinerary description
This is a lovely walk with varied terrain and covers three old rights of way: Camino Copaipas y Beatas, Camino al Ventorro Mota and Camino de Gibraltar
It is mostly on tracks but there is also a section along the River Genal which involves wet feet (in the summer) and would not be recommended during the winter months.
I've uploaded this trail before, starting at the metal gate, but it's nicer to finish after the flat river section instead of having to finish with a climb uphill back to your car. So this trail starts and finishes at the river, which means you need a 4x4 or a vehicle that can negotiate the steep and rough tracks down to the river.

A very enjoyable walk.
Thank you! Lots of fun, if you don't mind getting wet feet in the river section!
