Day 5 of the Holiday - Competa to Frigiliana
Again Steve collects us at 9 am and drives us to Competa, but today he drives us to the viewing point for the start of our walk. We walk again to the hotel Casa Mina, where we can break if desired and enjoy the beautiful surroundings (2 kms). Next we continue straight ahead along the track which is of good quality and offers fabulous views of the mountains and the coast. If we are lucky we might see wild goats (Ibis) and eagles, but we will be certain to see lizards and partridges. The track consist of gentle ups and downs until we reach a beautiful pond and waterfall which make a very attractive spot to sit and rest for a while. (11.5 kms) If we are not too noisy we might see an Ibis, as they come for the water. The track continues winding round the valley until we meet a junction, which also makes an ideal place for a break. (16 kms). Then we make a gradual descent until we meet a ruin. (18 kms). The track deteriorates a little and we meet a few steeper ups and downs until we can see the village of Acebuchal to our left. (21.5 kms). We continue straight on until we meet a tarmac road where Steve will be waiting to take us to a restaurant with incredible views and delicious locally grown food. After lunch there is a brief tour of Frigiliana ,which has won several prizes for being the most beautiful village in Andalucia and then home to Daimalos.
