The Mercadona store used as a start point reference has now moved – still on N332, next to Iceland about 300m away. The old store referred to for start point is now a Chinese store.
This walk is as described for SL-CV 136, for which there is a map display board at the top end of the car park above Bar Frau, just before the Mártinez furniture store.
The route description is somewhat vague; “a few metres”, a term used frequently, can mean anything from 10 metres to 300 metres. Look out for green and white marker stripes, of which there are either many or none at critical route-finding points. The narrow path under the viaduct on the return leg was substantially overgrown (1 June 2022) and starts immediately next to a metre-high marker post. Take care in this section, as the path has collapsed just at one point.
This is a very pleasant walk, although about two thirds of the distance are on metalled roads, despite three stream crossings, two on stepping stones. More arduous than suggested by the ‘Easy’/green designation, with a sustained uphill final third.
Thanks. This route has been designated as a SL since the description was published. Suggestions on how to improve the description – rather than criticism of them – are always welcome as things do change. A “few” would would normally be a small number, so unlikely to stretch to 300, but if we can be more accurate then it would be good to specify if it is possible. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
