Agave-lined track leading to the spring at El Chorrillo

Reaching the junction head straight ahead and descend through a thick stand of bamboo then cross a (dry) stream. Beyond the stream the track climbs steeply past a modern house where it angles right, left, then right again as it passes the house’s entrance gates marked La Valdesa. From here there are views down to the rice paddies to either side of the Río Barbate. Crossing a ridge Vejer again comes into view. Merging with another track and angling gently right you shortly pass beneath another house with a sign Propiedad Privada. After steeply descending an ancient, cobbled track you reach the track you followed earlier in the walk (2hr 30min).

From here retrace your footsteps back to the A396. Follow the crash barrier left for 50m then angle back right for 30m then cross the road. Reaching a sign Vejer de la Frontera/Cantarranas cut left along a track across open countryside. Descending, then angling left then right, you reach the first buildings of Santa Lucía. Crossing a bridge over the Arroyo de las Peñas the track meets the road you followed earlier up to Venta El Toro. Turn right and climb back to your point of departure (3hr 10min).
