Itinerary description

Pico El Camorro V2.0

This is a shorter version of the walk I did last month. Coming down from the summit instead of turning left take the path sharp right which will take you back to the start.
There were very slight little detours on this walk where I hugged the eleven solitary trees that survived the great fire of 2011 and survived a lot of dry summers.
It’s a crazy thing to do but I just felt liking doing it, getting close to nature, I suppose.

This walk starts near the stables Finca la Teja in Entrerrios.
Take the path that leads to El Camorro trail, which goes around the whole mountain.
When the path levels out, you arrive at an intersection. A little to your left is the path which has been eroded by rain and bad weather. This path is probably the old firebreak that was there before the forest fire of 2011, which devastated the whole area all the way to Marbella.

There are a few trees to guide you to the summit. I added a small detour to the second smaller summit, (optional).

There are really good views on this walk and walking poles are advisable especially on the descent towards the eastern side of the mountain.
I would recommend parking a few hundred metres before the stables as the approaching road has also been damaged by the heavy rains.
