Itinerary description

Cerro de los Cardos in Reverse

This is a nice walk on the outskirts of La Cala.
From the main roundabout opposite the Town Hall, turn left to the next roundabout, then turn left again going under the motorway, then turn left passing Mercadona on your right. About 200m on your right there is a large off road parking area opposite the El Chaparral School.

From here take the path to the left of the car park and follow this as it meanders and goes slowly uphill also on your left to a hill where you get good panoramic views.
Eventually you arrive at the Abrevadero (animal drinking trough).
This is a good spot for a break as it is shaded. Continue until you get to a bend and junction where you keep right. This is the return leg of the route where you pass some of the El Chaparral golf course on your left.
Eventually you pass a little farm holding before arriving back to the car park.

There were a lot of birds around and this route is also suitable for dogs.
There is little shade on this walk.
