Itinerary description

An alternative route back to the city from El Boquerón Mirador, passing through farmland and small rural villages. The route is straightforward, but about 500m in be sure to stay by the barbed wire fence to your left as you go over the dirt trail and large boulders.

The route back into town goes along Calle de las Herrerías, a lovely street with cafes and restaurants.
