Guia de Isora up to Morra del Pinar

10 Miles. 1044 metres ascent and descent (3425 feet).
Head SE from the Calle Campo bus stop.
Turn left, NE, up Calle Martin Placeres and cross the wasteland, NE, at the top.
Head NE up Calle la Era. Then head NE on the tarmac road towards Aripe and Chirche.
After the water works, turn left and follow the concrete and stones, NE.
This road soon dwindles to a footpath parallel with the pipeline, NE.
Follow this slightly overgrown path up to a tarmac road.
Turn right, SE, and first left, NW, and cross the chain barrier.
Veer left off the farm access road and continue to follow the pipes, NE.
Ignore the way-marked path, left.
Foolishly I ignored my own advice and followed the pipe through the overgrown section.
I got through, bloody, scratched and pricked by unidentified spiny seed heads.
It's a much better idea and probably quicker to veer right, NE, away from the pipe.
At a crossroads in the footpaths, turn left, NW, and soon rejoin the pipe.
The recorded track-log has been edited to follow this sensible route.
Cross the TF-38 and head NE on the footpath, still following the pipes for 100 metres.
Continue NE, leaving the pipes which head off NW.
Follow this path up to the TF-38 emerging just south of the Restaurant las Estrellas.
If you reversed this walk and started early enough, you'd arrive here at lunch time.
Cross the main road and head NE up a farm access road closed to vehicles.
I assumed it was fine to walk this route and no-one tried to stop me.
This road heads NE, then swings left, NW, and soon north.
Signs warned about bee hives so stay on the main track.
At a junction, turn right, due east. Ignore two right turns, SE.
Head NE and later north up to the galeria (water mine).
The tunnel entrance was hot and smelly. It really is volcanic!
The entrance was gated and a sign warned about possible toxic fumes inside.
Backtrack from the tunnel entrance. Head NE up a typical footpath lined with stones on both sides.
After quite a long slog uphill to 1600 metres, turn left, west, and start down.
The path down soon bends SW and later west again and is way-marked.
At a meeting of several paths, follow the sign to Chiguergue, SW.
Cross a pipe leading down from another galeria and head SW, following the way-marks.
Cross the TF-38 and continue SW. Take the way-marked right turn, NW.
There is a faster way down ahead but it looked steep and in poor condition.
The way-marked path soon bends SW again and drops quickly to the TF-38.
Cross over and follow the quiet tarmac lane, SW and later SE, to Chiguergue.
Follow Calle Tinguaro down a steep drop, SE. Turn right into San Roque.
Turn left into Calle el Meronal. Zigzag left and right and follow the lane downhill, SW.
After a few farm entrances, the lane dwindles back to a well used footpath, SE.
After 340 metres, turn left, SE, and head down, passing an embalse, (swimming pool sized water tank).
This was empty of water and the fence had fallen leaving a scary drop.
Follow the path SE all the way to Guia de Isora. Follow the wide tree lined Avenida da la Constitucion, SE.
Continue SE into Calle Campo and return to the bus stop.
