Itinerary description
You can either walk from the petrol station in Gaucin on the pedestrian walkway alongside the main road towards Algeciras (A-369), or - as we did - park your car on the layby on the left side of the main road towards the junction with the road down to El Colmenar (Railway station of Gaucin).
Start by walking along the side of the main road; when you come to the junction opposite the large signboard (see photo) cross the road, go BEHIND the signboard and go left, inbetween the road barrier and some bushes. In a couple of minutes you will see a grassy track leading down to the right; pass through a wire gate and continue on the obvious rocky path downhill.

Pass through various gates on the way down the rocky 'Alqueria' path.
At one point you pass through a gate at the back of a private property; follow the fence past a water tank and a goat enclosure to another gate. Pass through this gate, turn left between two fences (the lawns of the house are on your left) and then at the junction, go STRAIGHT ACROSS down another little narrow path. (i.e. do not turn left towards a driveable track). Once you are on the narrow path you will see blue stripes of paint and you can continue down the Alqueria route.

When you reach the bottom of the Alqueria path, go through the gate and turn right onto track.
When you've passed "Hacienda de las Palomas" on the left, and then a very neatly tended garden, you come to a right hand curve in the track, just before the road, and a large metal gate.
