This itinerary is an excursion from the beautiful village of Tolox
and is a transverse alternative to the mountain trip. We leave from
the village Tolox on a trail that winds inicially north to
head east and turns towards Piloncillo with the rooting valley
El Arroyo de los Horcajos on the side. We ascend on the right
side. Ignoring the diversions that come up to the right and to the
left we arrive at the foot of the Piloncillo, where we can
clearly see the water-way that we are following. Continuing along
the stream, by the shore and sometimes near the riverbed, where
splashed Spanish firs can be seen. The shore ends in a plateau where
one can see La Cañada de las Carnicerías, an impressive view,
unending rock and grandious beauty.
The
most daring can climb La Cañada de las Carnicerías and get
to a plateau that connects to the Peñón de los Enamorados.
The itinerary offers an amazing perspective of the Sierra de
Tolox, that gives its name to a sunken town in the valley surrounded
by orchards in an enclave. The town is a good example of the popular
mountain arquitecture.
