TOLOX – RIO GRANDE

There is a drive from the meeting point (Venta Umami) to the start of the walk at Venta Verita as parking there is limited. The walk itself is in the Rio Grande Valley close to Tolox where the river is still small. It follows a dirt track past pomegranate trees, orange trees, and olive groves. At the half way stage there will be a break next to the river. There are some hills to ascend and after rain there may be a couple of very shallow streams to cross. The route is in the shape of a figure 9.
At the start and finish in the small country venta (Venta Verita)  refreshments can be taken but no meals. At Venta Umami lunch or tapas are available.
