Itinerary description

Canillas de Aceituno, Puente Colgante, Ridge to base of Cerro el Fuerte (not really a path, some scrambling required, hence the "Difficult" classification) stick close to the ridge on the eastern side), around top of Almanchares Valley, climb to Collado de la Ravita, down past La Ravita back to Canillas de Aceituno.
Great way to see the new bridge and get close to La Maroma at the head of the Rio Almanchares valley, fantastic views all the way.
