Itinerary description

To get to Pizarra from Malaga, follow the A-357 until exit to Pizarra. In town follow the signs of the recreational area Raja Ancha and El Santo. Find a parking place near the recreational area.

The route crosses the recreational area always east (upwards), it is easy to deviate from the correct so it is advisable to follow the trail.
When reaching a wall with a rectangular opening, next crossroads, we will take to the right what will lead us to the Raja Ancha. Climb the stairs up to the viewpoint of the Raja Ancha.

Now the trail runs to the left side of a stream that leads to a pine grove where you find a sign telling that there are 1,5 kilometers to reach the Saint.
The trail goes into the pine forest where you continue to ascend to the top.
The next landmark indicates 1.1 km to the Santo and 100 meters to the Dark Cave. The trail continues in a gentle but steady climb to the top and finally you reach the destination. Afterwards you continue along the trail towards the northeast, after a few hundred meters you arrive at the geodesic vertex of the Cruz hill (448 m).

Arriving at a crossroads, continue to the "La Ermita" and continue along the trail always downhill until you reach Pizarra and find your way to your car again.
