Tour 9 – Mirador del Castillón – approx. 3km

This is a nice back-and-forth hike of about 1.5 km each way. A relatively short hike up to a great viewpoint.

The total incline is 288 meters. This means that it rises at an average of about 20%. Steeper in some places and flatter in others. Some parts can be a little demanding if you are in poor shape. But overall, a very nice trip.

Route point 1 Start and end

There is a parking lot just below that probably has space. If not, it’s usually fine to park along the road.

Route point 2 To the left

The route goes up to the left and continues on the left side of the fence towards the finca located there.

Route point 3 Refugio Sierra Crestelina

Fantastic viewpoint that is the destination for several hiking trails. Great views of the Costa del Sol, Gibraltar and all the way to Africa. Here you are at about 600 meters above sea level with fantastic 360 degree views.
