Todays walk was led by John and it was to places that we never knew existed and would certainly not have found ourselves. It was in the Pine forest on the Sierra de Mijas behind Alhaurin el Grande. First we were taken to see the cave, and the cliff that it is in appears also to be used by climbers. We then ascended to the Mines which as it's name suggests is well hidden and unless you know that it's there you wouldn't know that it was there. Here we ventured into the tunnel to see where the Tin or Iron was dug out.
It was then a somewhat steep ascent along a narrow and rocky path up to the vehicle tracks and a long but beautiful descent. All in all a very interesting hike into totally new territory.
This is a journal of my and my group’s hiking and walking exploits in the Malaga region of southern Spain, I am about 15 kms inland from the Costa del Sol. This is a most beautiful part of Spain with lots of varying scenery from high mountains to green river valleys and with numerous types of flora and fauna including Olive groves and Orange orchards, Eucalyptus woods and rows of Almond and Walnut trees. The weather is sunny and warm, the skies are clear and the walking is glorious.
