Itinerary description

Hard walk but superb views. Hardly any marked paths, often limestone escarpments and pavements, often thick gorse, difficult terrain. Attempted to ascend unnamed mound overlooking Lifa but failed due blocked by fence, but well worth the walk. Short but hard. Superb views to Alcaparin, Cabrilla, Torrecilla, Ronda, Grazalema.
