Itinerary description
09 04 2023
The Los Condes Circuit Variations are some of my favourite walks in the Sierra de Mijas. They are scenic, peaceful and not crowded.
It’s a good workout, usually about an hour of uphill before the start of the descent.
Los Condes – Alta Verde, Mijas
This walk starts on the outskirts of Mijas, on the outskirts of a little hamlet called Valtocado.
After getting to the signpost for Pico Mijas (orange route), the next twenty minutes the path zig-zags uphill until you reach the Pista Sur (Carril forestal), where your turn left.
From here it’s a gentle downhill hike with panoramic views of the coast.
On a good day you can see Gibraltar and Northern Africa. As you continue you pass two ravines, El Pedregal and Cueva de las Tres Puertas, before turning off and passing the very small urbanisation of Alta Verde.
Continue going down and it will bring you to the main road A387, where you have about 500m to get back to the starting point.
This is a nice shortish hike with great coastal views.
Venta los Condes - This great little Venta has had a change of ownership; it has been reformed and gone upmarket. The change is amazing. It is run by my friend Jimmy Stavos, whom I have known for more than 17 years.
It provides a unique blend of traditional venta and fine dining.
You can also turn up for only a drink after a walk.
If you want to eat there it’s better to make an appointment as it gets booked up very quickly

Fantastic short loop high overlooking Costa del Sol.
First part is a steep climb along nice narrow paths. Good shoes are nice to have. A small part is in beautiful wooded area, but mostly on open mountain side.
The view from the top is magnificent.
The descent is very easy along a wide gravel road. An hour well spent.
