Choose your trail before setting out

Compare official circuits and access conditions. These figures do not cover every Wikiloc variant or travel from Algeciras. Documentary checks do not guarantee that a trail is open on the day of your visit.

Check status before distance

Do not plan a Río de la Miel outing while it remains closed. Valdeinfierno reopening is unconfirmed; an unreadable notice does not prove that it is open.

Plan both outward and return travel

Travel to the trailhead is not included in walking time. For Tiradero and Risco Blanco, check forest-track vehicle access as well as the trail permit. We have not verified a direct bus to these starting points: arrange collection before setting out if you rely on transport.
