La Herradura: Bee-Eater including Peñon de los Castillejos

This challenging hike starts north of La Herradura in the mountains, following mostly 4x4 tracks through rugged terrain. Halfway along the route, there is an option to continue to the summit of Peñón de los Castillejos, adding around 200 meters of elevation. Those who prefer a gentler route can wait at a designated point, making the hike easier.

The trail was once called the "Bee-Eater" route, named after the colorful birds that used to inhabit the area, although they haven’t been seen here for many years. The hike offers spectacular mountain scenery and impressive views of the coast.

With its combination of climbs, panoramic vistas, and variable terrain, this route is physically demanding and best suited for experienced hikers who enjoy a challenging day in nature.
