There are 2 places with waterfalls close to La Cañada. In this video, both of them are visited. Just remember that these waterfalls only have water after a period of rain and in summertime they're completely dry.

It's a bit remote and the dirt track leading to the starting point could be tricky after rain.

I agree, the views were the highlight of this trek. If you want even better views, the summit to La Concha de Marbella is much harder but will get you the best views, as if you're standing on the top of the world. :-)

Gracias, Carlos. :-) Tuvimos suerte porque era un día perfecto para hacer esta caminata.

@BartVanThienen Yo estuve ayer con mi grupo haciendo la ruta del bosque de cobre de Parauta a Igualeja

Es una buena caminata por la misma zona. La hice el año pasado por esta época. Estoy seguro de que tu grupo la disfrutó mucho.

@BartVanThienen Le encantó

No lo dudo. :-)

Gracias :-) Fue un día fenomenal para pasear por allí, los colores y la luz eran perfectos.

It is indeed, but it can be reached by train, which is quite cheap, and there are a few places in the village to stay for a couple of nights.

Yes, thanks, those oak trees are unique for this area.

Excellent views indeed. :-) This walk is a bit complicated at times so you might find something easier on apps like wikiloc.

Tough indeed because of the distance and lack of oxygen.

I agree, just one tower and a few outer walls makes you wonder where all the rest of this city has gone. Maybe some future excavations might answer this question.

Glad you enjoyed the video. :-)

It is, I haven't seen anything of that colour elsewhere yet.

So do I. ;-)

I was quite lucky with the weather that day as the forecasts warned of rain but I escaped most of it. :-)

Indeed!

Good advice, I added the Punta del Boquerón path to my wish list. :-)

Thanks :-) The region got its name from the castle, which was built by the Arabs between the 12th and 13th centuries, when the place was named Qalat al-Jazula, or Castle of the Gazules.

@ not arab but amazigh gazula is my region in the south of morocco , thanks for your request You can search on Google : قبيلة جزولة

@ yea Almoravid and almohad dynasty they were amazigh berber

Yes it was, it's one of my favourite walks. :-)

A number of these walks can be found on apps like Wikiloc, you can pick and choose which one suits you best.

Glad it was helpful!

Glad to hear that!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks :-) Although this area is public property, it is necessary to get a permit to access it.

Glad you enjoyed it!

There is s decent road to the parking areas at the entrance of the torcal. It is a winding mountain road as the torcal is quite far away from major cities. There are no entry restrictions and no fees to be paid to access the torcal.

It is in a quite remote area so you will need a car to get to the start point of this walk.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks, will do!

As far as I know, these were the biggest calibre guns in use during the second world war.

Yes, it is. No public transport though, so you will need a car to get there.

Around 500 bunkers and fortresses were built along this coast during and after world war 2.

Yes, the Sierra de las Nieves has an abundance of options for leisurely walks. It is mountainous terrain, though, so decent trekking shoes are needed.

That's right, they are some of the highest coastal cliffs in the Iberian peninsula.

It definitely is with its variety of historical monuments and several restaurants for a good meal. :-)

You're correct, the castle's access is quite difficult and only a few walls remain. It was a nice day though for a countryside walk, so we enjoyed it. :-)

It looks dilapidated indeed. Most of the moving panels on the hand have been blown off by the strong winds and the ball, which was supposed to rotate, is completely stuck.

Thank you. :-) I use the rainy days in winter, and too hot days in summer, to check out what walks other people have done and the articles local newspapers publish about the interesting sites in their area.

Gracias amigo, coincido contigo en que esta zona es muy interesante y admiro tus esfuerzos por mostrarla a la gente.

There are several ways to the top from different starting points. In general it is quite hard because of the distance and tough terrain.

The leaves start to change colour from mid-November, reaching its full splendour in the last days of the month.

Hay caminos de tierra bien mantenidos que llegan a las puertas del castillo.

A tough walk, that's for sure, but well worth the sweat for its amazing landscapes.

Thanks for watching! :-)

Glad you enjoyed it. :-)

I thinks so too. An awful lot of effort and money must have gone in this project, only to find out that it would never work...

Glad to hear that my video was useful. :-)

I did! It was a long trek with a noticeable lack of oxygen but the views were worth the effort.

The fog was unexpected and not according to the weather forecasts but did indeed add a refreshing touch to the walk. :-)

Hi Matt, I agree with you. Most of this WW2 heritage is in remote areas and difficult to access because of it.

Yes indeed. Hard to get to these areas at times which probably explains why few people get there. ;-)
