Itinerary description

An exploratory walk trying to follow the original route of the Vereda Pescaderos in Almuña from the track near El Robledo to the Vereda Pescaderos sign on Camino Almuña.

There are some fences to climb under/over because the old route has been blocked off in a few places. This route is not recommended with dogs. Best to wear long trousers due to some prickly sections!! Needs some further work on the route, but overall we were very pleased with the success of finding the old paths/tracks.

From the gate, cross the next field, again keeping at the same height; you come to a more open area and a grassy track. Ignore the short exploratory bit of the Wikiloc track and follow the track steeply downhill.

At this point, the original route of the Vereda goes straight across a small gully to a gate, but it was very overgrown and so we went downhill on the track for a while, then found a place to cross the gully. Then we went back uphill to the original location of the gate.

This is the gate which we should have been able to access straight across the track.

Cross the field; we followed a small path but I think we could have been slightly lower down? We came out on a corner of a rough track and headed left to go through bushes and across a fence. There might have been a better way for this section.

Follow good path which turned into a lovely track running parallel but below the main Almuña track. We continued to the signboard but there were other exit gates to join the main Almuña track.
