5h 15
Moderate
Departure from La Línea de la Concepción (Cádiz)
A short excursion to this little piece of England in the south of Andalusia. You’ll start by crossing a border to leave the European Union (see: Practical Information), then you’ll cross the runway of an international airport, which is quite a rare experience. You will then wander through the old streets of Gibraltar. You can then begin the climb up the Rock to meet the only monkeys living in the wild in Europe. There is an admission charge (£30.00 per person), but the experience is quite unique and the view from the top is absolutely incredible.

Departure from Tarifa (Cádiz)
A lovely circular route through the Andalusian countryside, starting in a forest of cork oaks. The route is then enlivened by the River Guadalmesi and the streams that feed into it. There are a few technical sections along the river, as the path has been damaged by heavy rain.

+4,551 ft
-4,534 ft
9h 35
Very difficult
Departure from Nerja (Malaga)
This route is a round trip from the car park located just before the entrance to the Nerja caves. The path is wide and stony. After a little over 6 km, you will arrive at Cortigo de la Sibila (ruins), the last flat area before tackling the 4 km climb to the summit. You need to be more careful before the summit as there are fewer signs. Look for the blue or red markings and the mounds of stones (cairns). At the summit there is a cross. You have a view of the coast (Nerja, Maro, Torrox...) and the Sierra Nevada if the sky is clear. The return journey is via the same route.

Difficult
Departure from Trevélez (Granada)
From the beautiful white village of Trevélez in La Alpujarra, a lovely circular route that differs from the one suggested by the Trevélez Town Council, wilder and partly off the marked trail or even off-trail. This circular route offers beautiful views of the village and the Sierra Nevada.GPS or the Visorando app is highly recommended
