A nice and relatively easy trip that everyone should experience.
The walk is about 1.5 km as shown on the map, but can be made a lot shorter by going down from the viewpoint the same way you went up.
There is decent parking at the start of the tour (Route point 1). If the lot is full, you can use the parking lot at the entrance to Casares (before the school at the top).
- Head up to the Observatorio de aves de Casares – Casares Bird Observatory for great views and birdwatching.
- Nice and quiet place with benches and fantastic views both towards Casares and Gibraltar.
- The trip is relatively easy and should be suitable for most people.
- This is primarily a hike, but the tour can also be taken by bike. In that case, you will need to park your bike before the final stretch up to the viewpoint itself. If you follow the route and take the path down on the other side of the viewpoint, you should expect to rent the bike down.
Route point 1 Parking and start
Parking is available here close to the start.
Route point 2 Intersection 1
Turn left here (right if you go the opposite way)
Route point 3 Intersection 2
To get up to the viewpoint itself, you need to turn right here. You will return here on your way back.
On the way down from the top, you can choose to return to the car the same way you came up, but we recommend a walk around the entire trail. That means turning right here on the way down from the viewpoint.
Route point 4 Destination of the trip
Viewpoint with benches and information about bird types in the area
Route point 5 Another vantage point
A viewpoint and a nice place to stop
Route point 6 Memorials
Worth a stop along the way
Route point 7 Junction 3
Turn left here to return to the parking lot. If you’re heading in the opposite direction, this is where you turn right and up the path.
Kjell Johnsen –
Cycled this route in May 2025. Going up is fine, but should park the bike before the last bit up to the top.
An easy and beautiful hike that is rewarded with fantastic views of Casares and all the way to Gibraltar.

Egentlig beregnet som fottur, men vi syklet denne turen i mai 2025. Går greit å sykle, men bør parkere sykkelen før siste biten opp til toppen.
En lett og fin tur som belønnes med fantastisk utsikt over Casares og helt til Gibraltar.
