Itinerary description

We walk back along the quite lane for 400 meters and take the ‘way marked path into the valley, before starting our leisurely ascent of a well-worn goat track We climb steadily on first east and then north facing slope to El Pozuelo (the well) and then on to a ridge where spectacular views open up before as the path levels out. This it quite a climb on an uneven path.
We continue on this path with ever changing views, passing Pinsapos en Juanar and Torrecilla in the distance.
Lunch will be taken at this mid-point that will hopefully be a sun trap.
We take wide path to our right before descending quite steeply down (help may be required by some members) but only for a short distance into another valley. Coming to the valley floor we climb out again on to the Juanar – Istan path, before descending once more and returning via the olive groves to our starting point.
This is a lovely walk with spectacular scenery throughout and will be walked at a sensible pace so all can enjoy the Sierra Blanca at its best. This has been graded as a B+ walk though would be a wonderful opportunity to expand your horizons if you are comfortable with the terrain and a regular B walker on this short distance walk.
