It keeps growing and growing! There is now a stretch just over 10 km long from the marina in Estepona town, along the seafront promenade, along the boardwalk to the Playa del Angel outdoor statue museum, round past the old aqueduct and water wheel, past Alcazaba Beach, along the posh section by the Kempinski Hotel, past the (sadly fire damaged) Laguna Village, and on and on and on for another mile or so to Hacienda Beach. In the opposite direction it is also extending. Annoyingly, there is a gap between the Marina and the next bit of the Coastal Path by Doncella Beach. It is walkable, but the first few hundred yards are through a rough carpark, and the next few hundred yards are over the sand at the back of the Playa del Cristo. No problem at all, and a good place to stop in a chiringuito, but it will be great when the real Path is in place! It then turns lovely again, I guess that, as in the nicest parts in the other direction, the builders have been obliged to pay for the path to gain their planning permission. It goes past some very nice luxury apartments (Doncella Beach and Les Rivages), past the H10 Estepona Palace Hotel (look at their lovely pools!), over a wooden footbridge and round past some more attractive apartment resorts. Eventually it will reach Sabinillas.

This is a great hike but be forewarned, it is a fairly rough trail. I hiked from Mijas Ermita del Calvario using the red trail Cruz de la Mision then to the orange trail Rita Pico Mijas. It is a long slog 8 hours return and as I said the trail can be quite rough, that is, lots of rocks. But having said that the views are worth it!! The trails are well marked for the most part. Make sure you pick up a trail map mappa de sanderos in the Mijas Tourism Office. They are very helpful and knowledgeable!!!
6. El Caminito del Rey

Caminito del Rey is an itinerary that will let you walk across the heart of Desfiladero de los Gaitanes (Gaitanes Ravine) throgugh the gateways attached to a rock one hundred meters above the ground, discovering remote landscapes and experiencing vertiginous feelings that only experienced climbers could feel until now.

This is a must do when you are visiting the Costa del Sol. The Caminito del Rey is a 45 min by car journey from Malaga. It’s near the town of Ardales. We booked a guided tour few weeks before we visited. On arrival ( make sure you are in the right entrance), we parked our car on the side of the road, however, if this is not available you can pay €2 to park your car near the entrance. The main entrance is 1.5 km from the main road. There are toilet facilities right at the entrance gate. The Caminito del Rey is a 5 km path built on the side of great and magnificent canyons 100 meters above the Rio Gualdalhorce, we went on a guided tour and the guide was very informative. The path itself was safe, the views of the surrounding canyons, the river below and mountain ranges beyond were jaw dropping and amazing. Looking down was a tad scary but that’s how you can appreciate the scale of the canyons and the path. Tip: Do try to book an early slot, it opens at 09:30 am, our tour was 10 am and there were not a lot of people that time, when we finished our tour and we went back to the main entrance, it was so busy and heaving with tourists.

The Camino Natural de Rota is a wooden path way which meanders trough a pine tree forest along the beach. This path is ideal to go for a walk or jogging. I wish, I could run on such a path every day. Simply wonderful! (my Thumps up for the mayor of ROTA and everyone else who was involved building this wooden path).

What a fantastic time of year to visit for flora, fauna and wild life. I saw bunnies, bees, birds and lizards without leaving the path. The boardwalk crosses the dunes behind Cabopino/Artola ‘Nudista playa’ so be prepared for the occasional distant view of a nudist popping up in ‘Meerkat’ fashion to get an all over tan!
