Walking in Andalucia

Page 101 paragraphs 1 and 2

The narrow path that is reached beyond the black metal gate is very overgrown with gorse and brambles.
So rather than turning right down the track at the sign Zona de Seguridad best to stick to the main track and follow it down to the Arroyo de Bocaleones and pick up the route notes at timing 2hr 55mins.

The river is incorrectly positioned on the map although route description is correct , the gpx file provided shows correct positioning.

Walk 25.

The footpath leading up from the Poqueira gorge to Cortijo de Bubión is now overgrown and tricky to follow.

The author has re-routed the walk which will be included in the next reprint following clearer footpaths. Details now available above in pdf of "route updates included in reprint 2020".

The amended GPX track is available via Cicerone or the author.

Walk 7, page 71
The river crossing described in line 3 of the walk description has been washed away by flash flooding. In order to cross to the River Guadiaro’s east side from the railway station, head up hill, passing left of the shop Electrica Serranía de Ronda, to meet the road leading to Ronda, the MA-7401. Turn right, cross the bridge over the Guadiaro, then on its far side hop over a crash barrier and follow a narrow path down to reach a track running along the river’s east bank. This leads you to the far side of the damaged bridge where you pick up route notes at the point ‘Sendero Río Guadiaro, 7.3km’.

On the other side of the river you now need to climb over a huge tree that has fallen across the path.

Walk 23...page 167... line 13..." Presently there is no sign pointing up left for Sendero so .... climbing gently now , for some 900m (it's worth pacing this out) just as the track begins to bear round to the left - cut right down a narrow path .
