After 50 m the gravel road turns left, we continue straight on a brown dirt path that runs around the monastery area through open forest.At a shallow cistern, shortly before a fork, we keep left (red-white trail sign). A path takes us in 4 minutes to the crosswise trail No. 117, which we follow to the left and then leave again at the fork 75 m later to the right onto a narrow path. This runs somewhat overgrown through dense bush forest of holm oaks, junipers, and strawberry trees.After a crossing and a path branching off to the left, a fenced area is reached, we walk along the fence to the left. It accompanies us for almost a quarter of an hour, the path then merges onto a cross path (No. 116, also
