Almuñécar: La Herradura, Camino Guerra, Puente Romano

This diverse and scenic hike begins in Cotobro, a quiet neighborhood of Almuñécar. From there, we follow the Paseo de Cotobro along a stone walkway through the rocks to Playa El Muerto, enjoying the rugged coastal scenery along the way. After crossing the beach, we climb about 100 meters of steps to Punta de la Mona, passing the charming Ermita and the lighthouse, which offer great viewpoints over the coastline.

From Punta de la Mona, we descend toward La Herradura, walking along the beach before taking the path beneath the main road. The hike continues with a climb behind a hostel to connect with Camino Guerra, a winding path that ascends and loops around the hillside, providing fantastic views of the surrounding mountains and coast.

The final section brings us down to cross the main road and reach the Roman Bridge, a historic landmark that adds a cultural touch to the route. We complete the loop by returning to Cotobro via the road, ending a varied and rewarding hike full of coastal, mountain, and historical scenery.
