Itinerary description

First park one of the cars in Marbella at the end of the trail, then drive whith the other car to the start of the trail in Istán.
In the beginning the trail goes down along a conrete road for about 1,5 km, and join the official road A 7176 for about 300 meters. Leave the A 7176 and turn to the left, where the PR-A 140 is marked. The trail now single-lane goes steep uphill and continues for about 1,5 km to our highest point 431 m above sea level.
Be cautious because you can lose the trail since it is not very clear. Now the trail continues for the next 2 km down and up until you reach the outscirts of Nagüelle, from where the last two km continue on a dirt road.
Finally you reach the car and can drive back to Istán in order to fetch the other car.
Breathtaking views of the coast, Gibraltar, La Concha - Sierra Bermeja and the Embalse de la Concepción.
