Itinerary description

Mirador de Los Tres Embalses
This circular walk is on the Islet hill between the reservoir Guadalteba (left) and the reservoir Guadalhorce (right).
This area is called Gobantes and comes under the municipality of Campillos.
There is off road parking and is one of the lesser known walks.
This walk is definitely in my top 10.
The views from the Mirador are some of the best in the area.
The first part of the route you follow the contours of the reservoir. Eventually turning left you climb up some railway sleepers steps (that have mostly rotted away).
Then there is a little uphill climb on your left adjacent to the road that will eventually bring you to the Mirador de Los Tres Embalses (The Mirador of the 3 reservoirs).
The path back was hard to find but doable.
It is easier to go down the steps that you passed on your right and pick up the road MA 9006 back to the parking area.
To get to Gobantes pass Ardales and head towards El Chorro and the lakes.
Pass the Mirador restaurant and El Kiosko restaurant. Crossover the dam and pass the hotel La Posada del Conde. Keep going until you crossover the next dam then take the first junction on your left where you will find off road parking 100m up.
