Walk to Lobres and beyond

Did a lovely walk to Lobres and into the hills beyond. Used this wikiloc walk but got a cab home from Lobres rather than walking back to Salobreña (it was half 8 in the evening and we were getting hungry): https://www.wikiloc.com/hiking-trails/la-ruta-de-culo-de-la-gallina-2-12653994. I’d recommend doing that actually – looked like the final stretch back wouldn’t be that exciting.

We weren’t that keen on the initial route out of Salobreña – on a road rather than a path – but it quickly got better. Took an alternative route at one point and passed some dogs (including an Alsatian) – not recommended for Gill!

We had a quick drink when we got to Lobres. Looks like there’s only one bar in town (!) but there are a couple of supermarkets too if you’re low on water.

Then off into the hills north of Lobres. Lovely! A few exciting parts of the walk including a tunnel, a bridge and a herd of goats.

Overall an easy walk with only a gentle bit of uphill and some beautiful views!

Walk to La Caleta & home via the castle

A nice gentle evening walk with Weejan & Luke along the beach to La Caleta.

Stopped at Bar Gloria for some drinks with tapas & a couple of games of cards see earlier post..

Then took the inland road back to Salobreña by which time it was dark and the rock look stunning

Moon lit rock & castle
So we climbed the steps up to the castle ..

Ending up at the old favourite, La Botica for a late supper (see earlier post!)

Azahar Café for vino y tapas

No frills bar/cafe where the vino tinto is very drinkable!

And great tapas!

Copa de vino (y tapas) número dos

Copa de vino (y tapas) número tres

I don’t normally like Parma ham – stye ham but this was lovely!

Total cost ………. 9€

I love it here!
