Steady Pace with steady Terrain, moderate in places - 12.5 miles (20 KM) - a familiar star point but an alternative route avoiding the tarmac road awaits. This time we visit to the lower batería or option to stay at main battery and reduce by 1 mile / 1.5 km.

The area is well known to us but the road has become traffic clogged of late. Today’s route explores an alternative “There and Back” route to Batería Castillos (The 2 big guns) but goes further to the lower batería de El Joral which has smaller guns still intact. We head off down an alternative trail and valley to the seas edge then skirt the coast to climb up to the Batería Castillitos. The total out leg has 1320 foot / 400 meters ascent. A further option exists to wait here or continue a further 0.6 miles / 1 Km to El Joral. This makes the total outward leg 6.25 miles / 10 km. Bring a packed lunch.

The way back is mainly downhill but expect another 650 - 750 foot / 200 - 250 meters of gentle Up undulations.

We will return to Bar Cantina - opening hours 0900-Midnight Tue-Sun.
❌ Be prepared in case it is closed at both start and finish❌ we can leave spare water in the cars.
