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 an out and back walk starting at the Fuente Amargosa Health Spa in Tolox. Although this needs an extra half hour’s drive to the start of the walk, the drive is scenic and the walk, although shorter than usual, is well worth it. There are numerous stepping stones at the four river crossings, but the river should not be too wide at this time of year.

This walk initially follows Moorish irrigation channels and then passes through orange groves. About 2 km from the village a narrow track is taken passing over a stream by an idyllic wooden bridge before climbing steeply back into the village. The walk finishes in the Plaza where any refreshment will be well deserved.
