Itinerary description

Category: Hill Walk
Meeting Place: Near Nueva Kaskada Restaurant, Marbella
Distance: 6.5 km
Grading: Medium to Heavy

Itinerary:
This is a varied terrain walk which takes in great views across the coast. The walk starts by taking the track that can lead to Juanar. After climbing steeply up a zigzag rocky path, the ground flattens out and the walk leaves the Juanar track to follow a different path to Puerto Las Pitas. This path climbs over a ridge and then down before ascending a second ridge where a sign to Vereda del Faro can be seen. Following the ridge towards the sea the route leads to Mirador del Gitanos. From here the path continues downwards until eventually meeting the track which leads back to the start point. During wet periods there are probably some streams to cross.
