A very beautiful hike, especially recommended in spring. It leads along the cliffs through a pine forest, offering repeated magnificent views of the turquoise sea and Barbate beach, with the Trafalgar Lighthouse at the turnaround point. In spring, the scent of blossoming flowers accompanies the path.

The path is "concreted" at the beginning and leads along the cliffs to the Torre …

We picked out this beautiful tour from a hiking book. Getting started was a bit difficult because we wanted to walk the other way around than suggested because of the shorter journey. Unfortunately there was no parking lot in Caños de Meca, all existing ones were still closed. We then drove a bit down the road towards Barbate, there was …
