La Adelfa Circuit, Mijas

This is a lovely short circular walk starting from the off road parking at Puerto Colorado (between Km8 and Km9 on the A387, Alhaurin el Grande to Mijas road.

This route is a combination of four other routes, taking a small part of each one.
1 Ruta Pico Mijas
2 Carril Forrestal (part of the GR 249)
3 Ruta Fuente de la Adelfa
4 Ruta de las Cañadas

I started around 9am and there was about 70% shade, which is not bad for summer.
As with most walks in the Sierra de Mijas you will get loose stones and rocks, and uneven terrain. Walking poles always come in handy.

On a good day you will see Gibraltar and north Africa.
