Serra de Besa Circuit (summit optional)

Pleasant tracks and country lanes to and back from the base of the Serra de Besa. Steeply up the flanks of a barranco, then up and across this low laying ridge, with lovely views from both sides (a little rough and scratchy in places). Then doubling back along its flank through beautiful woodland. Quite a tough walk for its grade and complicated route finding.
