El Burgo: Fuensanta to El Burgo
I’ve created a new category in the blog here: Routes. In this category, I’ll be recording the details of the hiking routes we do, including a description, links to trip photos on Flickr, and a downloadable archive of two files:
A Google Earth .kml file, which you can load into Google Earth for a satellite image-based view of the route.
A .gpx file of the “track”, suitable for downloading to a GPS device. I will try to always include a waypoint of the start of each route.
For today, we headed off from Marbella to Monda, then Guaro, then Alozaina, then Yunquera, finally arriving at El Burgo, in the heart of the Sierra de las Nieves. From there, we began the 2.5 km hike to the recreation center known as Fuensanta. (The track I recorded is actually the return trip from Fuensanta to El Burgo.)
The route is very easy, first heading uphill, then flattening out, then finally descending into the Fuensanta recreation area. The recreation area itself has a beautiful area for picnicing and hanging out.
Be sure to check out the following:
Enjoy!
