Acequia Trail from Canillas de Aceituno

Highlight • Trail

A good route that runs through some ditches until it reaches the new suspension bridge and climbs up by chains. Expectacular !!!!

View of La Maroma Massif and Gorge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Ignore the directions. There are hardly any parking spaces and the entrance to the senda is simply adventurous. Better to follow the signs from the Plaza de constitution center. And be careful: the path along the moat is NOT for people who are not sure-footed and have a head for heights. We are reversed🙈

Metal Walkway, National Park Sierra de Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama

Highlight • Structure

The balcony is closed at the end with a gate, so you can't go any further here, but you can still descend to the suspension bridge.

View of Canillas de Aceituno, La Viñuela Reservoir, and Montes de Málaga

Highlight • Viewpoint

It can be reached quickly by car, especially if you are coming from Sedella to the east. From here there is a beautiful view of the Canillas countryside, the Viñuela reservoir and the Montes de Málaga. There is room for a few cars if you want to start a hike from here. Especially recommended when the almond trees bloom. Most of the roads are completely free of cars.
