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!
