Camino del Condes (Alhaurin el Grande)



This is a circular walk - for the most part in the shade - on the north side of the Sierra de Mijas, starting near the water deposit / castle on the outskirts of Alhaurin el Grande.
The route starts with some undulations and a climb up a dry riverbed. Most of the walk proceeds through paths surrounded by trees. The silence of the forest track makes this walk very pleasant. When reaching the fire break, where of course the trees are cut away, there will be a break. At a Cairn take the path on your left and continue it until it reaches the Camino forestal. From here stay on the right going downhill. Just before you get to the chained off gravel road there is a path sharp right that will eventually lead to the parking area.
At times the path is rather uneven with loose rocks, so walking sticks are recommended.
