Country Walks

The first 20 mins of this walk follow a shady forest path, with small rocks in places, that becomes increasingly steep before reaching a wide unmade road. However, it does ascend to a wider path which becomes a very pleasant and easier country walk.

This is a circular walk taking you through a couple of dark tunnels then passing through an area with mostly trees, groves, with views over the valley, the mountains and the areas around Ojén. Passing through the Cerezal Nature Reserve.

The walk is in the Rio Grande Valley close to Tolox where the river is still small. It follows a dirt track past pomegranate and orange trees and also olive groves.There are some hills and after rain there may be a couple of easy streams to cross.

This walk is located behind La Mairena and from the starting point this is a very pleasant country walk with fantastic scenery all around but there are some extended uphill sections leading up from the valley, fairly steep in places. There are many view spots where it is possible to stop and take in the views. This walk is on a good wide track easy to walk and without any difficulties underfoot.

A very scenic country walk initially until we reach the Alaminos river and then the path becomes a steady single-file hill climb up the Loma Canalizo until reaching the Puerto Canalizo. Great views of the Mijas coast and Sierra de Mijas. This is a loop walk returning back to where we started.

This walk starts at the El Mirador Hotel, winds up through the Camino Forestal in with views over the valley ending up at Forest Guard’s house. Most of this walk is in the shade of the pine trees and not too difficult ending back at the hotel for Christmas refreshments and tapas on the outside terrace. The first part is a steady climb that is not strenuous and loops around at a higher level.
