La Herradura: Bee Eater Walk
Sunday 26th of February 2023 11:00 AM
This linear walk was named the "Bee-eater Walk" by Trevor because in the spring and summer, it is possible to see brightly-coloured Bee Eater birds. This walk is approximately 9.7km long, has an elevation of 490m and takes about 4 hours to complete.
LONG DESCRIPTION
This linear route is relatively easy and for the most part on 4x4 tracks. The lunch spot is at the top of a rocky outcrop called Peñon de los Castillejos, the site of a defence point (Castillo de Jate) dating back hundreds of years. It offers great views over the río Miel valley. There is a very short scramble at the base of the rocky outcrop. Note that when you go up to the top of the mountain, the path to the left marked with piles of little stones is the best way to go up. Try to follow the gpx track at this point because the other way up has a slightly tricky bit of rock climbing. There is almost no tree cover on this walk so take plenty of water.

Can you pay in cash: Half the reason for charging is so that we can raise money for a worthy charity . The other half of the reason for charging is that people put their name down
for walks without the intention of actually doing the walk and never turn up. Charging in advance is a way of avoiding this.
Can you come without signing up: Everything has its price. If you arrive without signing up we would accept 10 euros per person payed in cash. We only accept notes. We have no change.
