Wonderful views from the top at 690 meters above sea level. The path has some technical difficulty in a sector reaching the top but it can be overcome without problems, remember to wear suitable footwear and tread firmly! The views will be the reward at the end of the road.

Don't just go up the steep climb, but enjoy a great view

A fun and challenging walk. The comments say the walk stops in the middle, but that is not the case. We finished the loop without many problems. It does require a bit of a sense of adventure.

In our experience, the tour available on both Komoot and the Spanish outdoor community Wikiloc is described incorrectly there.

More than half of the tour goes exactly over rocky ridges or very close to them and is actually only suitable for very experienced mountain hikers who are prepared to take risks and have the appropriate equipment.

We did the tour anti-clockwise and had to turn back a little after the summit of Columbares because a safe descent is not possible on a vertical rocky descent without any means of securing!

The route is not signposted anywhere, there are individual cairns. Often the route can only be guessed at.

The nature of the ground only allows walking on it when the ground is absolutely dry.

As the route is entirely on the south side of the Sierra, you should not climb it in blazing sunshine. There are only a few shady spots.

The summit itself is unattractive, there is no summit atmosphere at all. There are several unused antennas lying around that unfortunately have not been dismantled.
The views during the hike are beautiful, though.

Very nice view, but in my opinion too tough for an "average" hike. To the top is fine, but the part from the top (if you follow the direction that Komoot indicates) is tough and quite scary at some points. I therefore did not find this hike average. In previous reviews it says that walking around is not possible, but you can follow the entire route, although it is quite difficult to keep finding your way from the top. Perhaps the confusion is because it is scary at 1 certain point during the descent and there are hikers who do not see this as a possible route. But again; fantastic beautiful views, so you will be rewarded.

This walk is indicated as a 'circular walk'. We walked this route (by mistake) in the opposite direction. To our surprise, walking around is not possible given the mountain range and passes. So it has become a walk 'back and forth' along the same road. Not that it is now less because of this, certainly not, but it is typical. The walk itself is beautiful and challenging, in our experience certainly not 'average' given tough climbs. Views, especially at the end of the route, are surprising and breathtakingly beautiful!! So highly recommended!!

Beautiful route, but at the top, where the view was great, you have to walk the same route back. The last climb up is tough

There is a quite difficult pass when up on the cliff. Views are amazing
