Route - La Arboleda

From the Interpretation Centre to the neighbourhood of Arboleda

Not suitable for people with reduced mobility (PRM)

This section runs through wooded areas with difficult access for people with reduced mobility as the trail surfaces are very uneven and slippery. Occasionally the trail becomes very narrow making wheelchair access impossible in addition to gentle and steep slopes. The trail is signposted with wooden markers and different colours depending on the route we are doing. 

There is an option of doing this route along the road as there is little traffic and what there is, travels slow due to the speed limits in the area.
