• Walking is the best way to see the diverse fauna and flora and fantastic views.



• If you have chosen not to hire a car then arrangements can be made at a modest cost to ferry you to and from starting points of particular walks you wish to try.



• There are though, a number of walks, which can be reached with your cortijo as a starting point.



• The terrain can be rugged and steep and it is important to be properly equipped. Suitable clothing with sturdy walking boots or shoes [these should give ankle support] is highly recommended.



• As the sun can be very hot in summer you should bring a mix of T and long sleeve shirts, a light hat, sunglasses, high factor sunscreen, a water bottle and mobile phone are recommended.
