Not to be walked in June, July or August. Even in September you will be roasted. I went in October and it was hard because of the Sahara moving up north and entering Andalusia. But so beautiful…..

Nice view on different sides. A few meters up the hill to the locked fire department and you have a wonderful all-round view, including Cerro Lucero, Cerro Verde, etc.

ANDALUSIA : First day of hiking from Competa. Beautiful spring weather, so we decided to go on the big tour. It was tiring, but simply beautiful in the weather.
