Itinerary description

13 04 2019

This walk starts at the Ciudad del Cine (The old Eldorado film studios).

This is a pleasant walk in the Sierra Blanca - Matagallar, and takes you to the Atalaya
which is the fire lookout on Cerro Alaminos. From the summit you have views of Barranco Blanco, Sierra Alpujata, Alhaurin Golf and out to the Mediterranean .

There is one section that is quite stony for about 15 minutes. At the Cerro Alaminos intersection approximately 3km, apart from that this is a pleasant walk.

    Nice walk, can cut it in half if getting a bit too much.

    This is an easy walk. We've extended a bit and walked from the fire lookout to the mirador below.

    Easy to extend with some loops. Does follow the road quite a bit, which makes it a bit boring (towards the end).
