A challenging walk to the peak of the mountain, la Cruz de Juanar (1.070 m). From the summit there are fabulous far reaching views on a clear day across to Africa. It is also usually possible to see the Sierra Nevada mountains.

This is a hard walk of about 5 hours total being 3 hours of ascent and 2 hours of descent. The route is from Ojén up to the Juanar walk so is a long climb. Members must ensure you have an adequate level of fitness before signing up for this hill walk. It is also important that sufficient equipment, food and water is brought.

The walk “las canteras azules”starts by taking an upwards path through a pine forest. After a pause at the top of the incline, the trail follows a single file, open, path high around the edge of a deep valley with steep scree slopes on the left (vertigo sufferers beware). There are fine views back to sea near Fuengirola.

The walk begins in the town of Pizarra and follows the track of the Romeria up to the monument on the top of the hill overlooking the town.It then climbs until a monument is reached. There are spectacular views from here.
