Itinerary description

Caves car park at Maro to Frigliana bus stop using GR249. The Rio Chillar crossing can be confusing, so cross a little upstream from the path end on some convenient rocks, then continue upstream over and around the boulders and trees until you spot the GR post. I also missed a turning just before Frigliana and used the very steep access road to finish. Visited a peak along the ridge that projects south from the saddle after El Pinarillo - it was overgrown a bit but well worth the extra effort!
