Itinerary description

Great walk. Constant climb but ok. Good paths. Great views back to Carratraca. Even better views from top to El Burgo, Ardales and lakes. Good path marked by cairns to tajo summit. I plan redo this walk on clear winter day for views from the top because was a little hazy. Easy to find start by drive up from Ardales and leave main road on long curve. A great walk and added to favourites.
