    We hiked uphill on a path from above Frigiliana to the road heading toward Cuatro Caminos and Frigiliana. Then we went in the direction of Acebuchal but at the junction of the upper road that goes by the old quarry, we t...

    This route takes you from the beautiful village of Frigiliana into the waters of the Rio Higueron following it upstream to near its source in the Carrascal. The return journey takes in the peak of El Fuerte by a lesser k...

    Somehow demanding route from Frigiliana village to Rio Chillar. There are challenging climbs at the both ends of the route. The uphill itself is not very radical, but the length is respectable. The path between the two i...

    This is a relaxed alternative to the very popular Río Chillhar. About half of the trail is in the shade, so it can also be a pleasant change to exposed mountain tours in the hot Andalusian sun. We had breakfast at the...

    Beautiful circuit with a bit of everything! There is an option to make a detour up to the Cruz Pinto at the top of the ascent out of the river gorge. This would add about 2k to the marked route. We returned by following ...

    Not super easy to navigate at all times but fun hike for both 2 legged and 4 legged and the scenery…. Wow! Loved it!

    Beautiful route with views to Río Higuerón and the surrounding mountains. The acequia path is quite narrow in some places so not suitable for those with a fear of heights.

    Easy to follow, great views. And you can definitely do it without waterproofs. We even saw people on flipflops (directio...

    From Frigiliana to Restaurante Caracoles and then downhill on the Ruta de Pan y Agua. Then into the Arroyo de Perez, before joining the Arroyo de los Bancales for the re-ascent back into Frigiliana

    Good campo walk!

    Nice trail that works well to go clockwise or anticlockwise, if you go clockwise you get a better view over the sea.
