On the Rio de la Miel, not far from the beautiful stone bridge, are the remains of an old water mill. Be careful when entering, the walls are not secured.

Hiking

It gets even prettier at the Arroyo de la Miel – simply turn left behind the ruins of the old mill. Then back to the ruins and up to the right, then you'll gain a few more meters of elevation. After a left turn, you'll have a beautiful, unobstructed view of the Rock of Gibraltar.
