Accessible by bicycle or by foot. The road is closed at the parking lot near Nerja Caves for cars and motorcycles.
We walked there and back, a total of 12km.

Clean water to drink, but the attraktion to this place is the old mine, that is open. Take some powerfull ligthing with you and go exploring. But be carefull. It is Rocky and goes way in... There is also a fine hiking pass to the top of the mountain.

Nice water, beautiful hikes etc. The hiking routes here are extremely unclear though. Even with map and all as experienced hikers we list the track a dozen times.
