TOLOX – RIO GRANDE

There is a drive to the start near Tolox (car sharing recommended). The walk is in the Rio Grande Valley close to Tolox where the river is still small. It follows a dirt track past pomegranate trees, orange and olive groves. Half way there will be a break next to the river. There are a couple of easy streams to cross (feet won’t get wet.) and there are some hills.
The route is a figure 9. The start and end point is by a country venta where refreshments can be taken.
