Castell d’Aixa circuit via Barranco de la Fondacha from Pedreguer

A splendid walk on well-defined paths and tracks marked Y/W for the whole route. Great views particularly from the Castell summit (not to be missed). A tough ascent to the summit but well worth the effort and a lovely return home

Nearest town	Pedreguer
Directions to start	Follow the CV720 out of Pedreguer towards Llosa and Alcalali. On the outskirts of the village there is a brown sign pointing to the L for the Ermita. Follow this road – initially Avenida Maria Lopez (and soon becomes Carrer del Migdia) around to the R and pass the Ermita. Ignore any side turns to the L slanting downhill. The road narrows a little, goes across a crossroads and then reaches a T jnc where you can only turn L or R. Turn R (Carrer Passatge) and park in ample parking at the foot of the mountain and barranco.
