Windmill to the west of Vejer

Reaching the road that leads from Vejer to Los Caños de Meca, A2230, angle right and follow the road for 350m to reach the roundabout next to Venta Los Olivos. Here, bearing right and passing just right of the restaurant, cross a cattle grid and continue up a farm track that climbs steeply towards Vejer. Angling left past a No Entry sign the track becomes cobbled before it narrows, now more overgrown, before it crosses a wooden footbridge.

Reaching a restored windmill the path levels then angles right to reach the first houses of Vejer where, following a tarmac road, you descend to a junction. Here bear right past a stone arch then follow the road as it arcs left in the direction of a sign marking Centro Ciudad, Zona Monumental. Passing a line of restaurants continue along Calle Corredera then cut right to return to the Plaza de España (5hr).

This longish circuit gives you the chance to sample the twin natural habitats that make the Parque Natural de la Breña such a special treat, introducing you to its vast forest of stone pines as well as to the spectacular cliffs which rise 100m above one of the best beaches in Andalucía. The walk begins with a section of forest walking as you follow sandy paths and tracks towards San Ambrosio. Here you can make a detour up to the Torre del Tajo.
