Itinerary description

A nice loop - a steady climb on the GR141 up to Namir's rock and then a pretty section through the woods to the El Colmenar Road. Then some tricky navigation on the "Alqueria Field path" before you join the main Alqueria path downhill back to La Herriza.

    Interesting walk. The climbing takes place early in the walk. Long trousers as some prickly areas!!! The best part is the lovely track which leads back to hotel. Recommend!
