LifeofRiley: You live in Lanjaron!! Just left the place. No shortage of places to fill your water bottles there. Give my regards to Sylvia at the Mirimar hotel. She was just about to shut up shop for the year and on countdown till she goes down to Malaga. Went on one or two walks around the area. Would have loved to do more but now wondering if the knees and stamina can do it: I like the moving on walks rather than the circular jobs.
Looked at some Cicerone book on walking some Spanish GR something or other. He said the way was marked...well,sortof!! He said at some places the the signage isn't that good and the path can divide into x5 routes. No worries,if you go up the wrong route you just return and go up the other. Are you kidding!! I hate that.I never like to retrace my steps,and theseadays I'm too exhausted. Taking that adviced I'd never arrive at a set destination or be out till sunset!!
