    Beautifull tour mainly on Single trails. You should be used to small and steep pathes allong and over hills. one or two times you need your hands to hold on.

    Fast die einzige echte Küstenwanderung in der Region. Immer wieder schön und eine tolle Chringuito am Strand wenn man die Tour im Uhrzeigersinn macht.

    Zeer mooie wandeling. Zeer snel in de natuur. Mooie en goed te volgen paden. Geen aanduidingen of markeringen, gpx volgens ons noodzakelijk.

    very nice hike, but the way back from the peak is full of vegetation, I'd advise to wear trousers to avoid getting scratches

    Wie immer top Empfehlung von Thomas. 4 Sterne weil die Wegmarkierungen sehr überschaubar sind und das GPS funktionieren sollte. Am besten immer den blauen Punkten folgen. Wir sind die Runde vom Playa Cantarrijan gelaufen. Man kommt von Parkplatz an der N340 nur mit dem Shuttlebus dorthin. kostet 3€ pro Person hin und zurück, fährt immer dann wen jemand da ist . Ich würde den Weg aber das nächste mal anders herum machen, da der den Abstieg hinunter zum Playa ist doch sehr „unruhig“ ist. lange Hose und festes Schuhwerk war Gold wert Zum Abschluss an der Playa in der Bar Bolla ein Bierchen, Käse und Oliven Snack runden die Wanderung ab.

    A fantastic, unique walk through a beautiful gorge, where most of the time you walk in the water.

    Great route for a 1/2 day hike. Up 1000 m it is easy also for non experienced/ hirst hikers because you go on a road. At that hight you have a beautiful view point too, where non hikers can stop. The last 300 meters might be challenging if you dont feel comfortable on narrow, sandy paths, you may also use a hand once or twice to move on. For an average healthy person the whole route is absolutelly fine. Fantastic view on the top, you can see Africa and Sierra Nevada!

    Am Anfang lange in einer Schlucht, zum Ende auf langweiliger, befahrener Piste. Im Sommer nur mit viel Wasser gehen. Aussicht gut bis nach Afrika

    Schöne Tour, allerdings Ende April sollte man die Tour, der Hitze wegen, am frühen Vormittag durchführen. Der Abstieg zur Playa Cantarrijan, falls möglich mit Stöcken begehen da es von etwa 250 m Höhe steil abwärts führt.
