Puerto de Puntagorda

From the Puntagorda cemetery, walk a short distance north along a large water reservoir to a signpost "Puntagorda" on the right. Here, turn onto a yellow-marked stone path that gently ascends. At the next fork, continue straight ahead ("Puntagorda"), shortly afterwards follow a sign "Montaña Bravo" to the right (yellow markings). Cross a road and another sign "Montaña Bravo" guides you onto a beautiful footpath uphill. Later the path turns into a gravel track and after a crossroads continues slightly downhill as a dirt path. Shortly afterwards follow the next sign "Montaña Bravo" onto a footpath. At the following fork, turn right ("Puerto de Puntagorda") and go downhill. Cross a side road and follow a dirt path straight downhill. On an old stone path, head towards the sea to the next fork, where you again follow the sign "Puerto de Puntagorda" straight ahead. Switchbacks lead down to the next fork with the sign "Puerto de Puntagorda". Cross a road and follow a path downhill on the other side. At a banana plantation, you reach a track and continue downhill on it until it turns left. Go straight here on a pull path, which soon turns back into a stone path. This path approaches the sea and further down offers views of the cliffs in the south. Finally, it goes down tight switchbacks over a rock escarpment, where you reach a narrow road's end at a parking lot. You can then descend via a stone staircase to the water, where there is a well-protected sea swimming pool.

For the return, go back up the stairs to the parking lot and then follow the road uphill. Shortly after the first right curve, a marked hiking trail branches to the left ("Puntagorda"). The path soon reaches the road again and continues immediately behind it to the left behind an embankment uphill. On the old stone path, it climbs higher in switchbacks until it reaches the road again and follows it left over several curves, gently uphill. At a left bend, a sign "Puntagorda" points right (yellow markings), and you return uphill on a stone path to the cemetery and thus back to the starting point.
