The map on the left shows the road access to the start of the walks. Take the A355 which runs between Marbella and Coín. The turn off is clearly signposted to El Refugio de Juanar near km24 (36.59165N -4.85290W). This takes you on to the MA-3500. Follow this to the end where you will come to a parking area and a big gate which is locked. Park here and walk through the pedestrian entrance to the left of the gate. 

Just before the car park, on your right, you will see the old hunting lodge now used as a hotel, which is called El Refugio de Juanar. They have a bar with cold beer and good coffee.

So through the pedestrian entrance by the gate, just carry on straight ahead for about 1.5 kilometers to the mirador where you can enjoy beautiful views and magnificent birds of prey including Bonelli's Eagle, Buzzard, Peregrine Falcon and Kestrel. You will probably see Griffin Vultures and if you are lucky, Egyptian Vultures too.

.

The track continues on for another 150 metres, to a stone outcrop. Here the bird fanatics among us can enjoy Warblers, Wheatears, Blue Rock Thrush, and even Eagle Owl (but not very often).

.

On your way back you may consider exploring some of the tracks on either side of the main path. In theory it is possible to walk south into Marbella, or even west to Istan. Something to consider for the autumn. Andalucia is too flippin hot for that now. The Costa del Sol if best left to the beach bums. I am off up north for the summer. See you there on the next page !!!
