Morro Blau and Pla de Codolla circuit from Callosa

A demanding walk up a woodland path, a barranco side then up and across rocky hillside to a forest track, which takes you around to a fire watchtower then spirals down another forest path. Extensive scenic views throughout and a rewarding downhill second half.
