Itinerary description

From Agua Amarga to Torreón De Mesa Roldán via Antiguo Cargadero de Mineral.

Easy but very versatile hike from the playa’s off Agua Amarga to the old lighthouse of Torreón De Mesa Roldán.

After we leave the beach we go on to a pretty steep path towards the first ruins of Antiguo Cargadero de Mineral. A lovely site which runs upto the Mediterranean Sea. At the lowest part of this hike you can also choose to go to the lowest part of these spectacular ruins but we didn’t.. for us it wasn’t enjoyable because some fear of heights.

After this we follow the bleu-white markings and the Cairns towards Torreón De Mesa Roldán, always very visible towards the northeast.

    In the beginning, you have to be alert, but once through that first part, nice walk with a lot of “miradors”
