Itinerary description

A very nice short loop from Gaucin. Start at the petrol station and walk along the "paseo" on the side of the main road to the junction with the road down to El Colmenar. Go down the Alquería path for a short while and then branch off to the right into a field, where you can pick up a reasonably good path, which goes inbetween the Alquería path and the Colmenar road. It emerges at the corner just before Casa Las Aves and a short way before Puerto del Negro. Cross the road and immediately go through a wire gate (which looks padlocked but isn't). Go up the track and turn right at the junction, then follow the blue stripes on Gaucin Town Hall Route II "Round el Hacho" back to the main road. Turn left and retrace your steps to the petrol station.
