Itinerary description
Please add 1.39km to the overall distance as my Wikiloc recording stopped before the end of the trail.
A great hike adjacent the Rio del la Miel aka Honey River following for part it along the Senda de los Prisioneros aka Path of the Prisoners before descending into beautiful landscape of the river valley.
A description of its history is given below:
Senda de los Prisioneros
The path of the prisoners so called because it runs along open roads constructed by forced labour from prisons full of political prisoners after the Civil War known as disciplinary battalion number 22 an organized group of political prisoners to perform forced labor created by Franco that was located between Venta de Ojén and Cerro del Rayo from 1940 to 1943.
It is located southwest of the municipality of Algeciras, on the border between the municipal terms of Algeciras and Tarifa. The path, within the limits of the Natural Park of Los Alcornocales, is located between the mountains of Algarrobo and Bujeo.
With prisons full of prisoners, Franco decides to create disciplinary battalions, an organized group of political prisoners to perform forced labour. After the outbreak of World War II, Franco launches the Fortification Plan on the northern shore of the Strait, with the aim of fortifying and defending the area from possible attacks from the coast. To do this, he built a network of roads in this coastal area of southern Spain from Conil to the Guadiaro River and precisely the path of the prisoners belongs to this network of roads.
