Woodland route to the Coastal Footpath
Behind Bellaluz and Los Altos a shady woodland footpath leads out to the Mediterranean coast. The final section of the track narrows to a walking only route however the first part of the track is suitable for biking and running. As a walk the route is relatively short and mainly flat however the final section up to the view point on the coast is quite steep. The end of this route meets up with the coastal footpath (GR92) which is suitable for more experienced walkers.
Distance: 8 miles roundtrip
- Leave the Main Hyatt Regency La Manga hotel car park and turn left.
- Follow the road past the petrol station and continue towards Bellaluz.
- Turn right onto the Calle de Las Solanas, just after the Casa Victor restaurant
- Continue to the top of the hill where the tarmac road changes to a wide dirt road.
- Continue along the dirt road for a short distance and you will see a chain across the track. Go around the chain and continue up the hill
- About 200m up the hill the main road takes a sharp turn to the left but you will see a narrower (about car width) track continuing straight on into the woods. Take this track.
- Follow this track as it undulates through the woods and finally reaches a clearing (by bicycle it is recommended to stop at this point)
- By foot you will see a narrow path which drops into a dried up stream and heads steeply out the other side, follow this path
- Follow this path (towards the end it gets steeper and rockier) and you will emerge from the woods with a view of the Mediterranean.
