Eye of Montgo from Las Rotas

A challenging walk with interesting features and beautiful views. The route includes all types of terrain including scrambling, chains, tricky rocky paths, wide gravel paths and even some tarmac. We start by viewing the sea caves from the viewpoint above (not going into the caves), then going steeply up to the windmills, continuing up to the Eye of Montgo and back again via the coastal watchtower.
