Itinerary description
Otra ruta organizada por Turismo Mijas, con guías de Descubre, Alex, Jairo, y dos Carmen. La subida es un camino fácil de seguir, pero es un ascenso sin tregua. Los últimos 80 metros parecen difíciles, pero hay una escalera y un camino seguro. Las vistas son bonitas, aparte de la "mancha ecológica" que es la Cantera de Alhaurín. Dicen que está cerrada, pero sigue funcionando. Hemos decidido bajar por la parte norte. Tuvimos la mala suerte que soplaba un viento frío, y para los últimos 3 km llovía. Es una ruta muy fácil en relación a la señalización pero algo difícil en cuestión a el asenso.
Another route organised by Tourism Mijas, with guides from Descubre, Alex, Jairo, and the two Carmens. The ascent is an easy to follow pathway, but it is a continuous climb without a break (in the sense of no flat parts). The last 80 meters look difficult, but there are steps and the path is secure. The views are very nice, apart from the "ecological blot" which is the Alhaurin Sand Quarry. They say is has been closed, but yet it is still functioning. We decided to descend by the north side. We were unlucky in that a cold wind blew, and it rained for the last 3 km. It is an easy rout in relation to the clarity of the pathway, but a little difficult because of the ascent.

Una ruta amena que vas casi todo momento dentro de la arbolada con sombra, y unas vistas unicas hacia la costa malagueña. En el pico puedes observar toda la costa y axarquia.
Mala suerte que hiciera viento frío y lloviese?, qué curioso.
