LAS HUERTAS DE COÍN

There is a 25min drive from Monda to las Huertas de Coin, which is a small hamlet in the countryside between Guaro and CoÍn. The walk goes down to a bridge over the Rio Grande, then up a slope next to agricultural land. Spectacular views of Sierra de las Nieves. The route is circular and the path crosses an easy stream, then back over the Rio Grande using a different bridge. The track passes close to farmsteads with cattle in the yards and back to the start point.
