Faro de Camarinal, Atlanterra - Sierra de la Plata and Return

Walk ID: 2804

This is a very scenic walk, giving spectacular views over Bolonia, Tarifa and out to Africa for much of the route. At the top there are outstanding views down to the village of Zahara, Barbate, Cape Trafalgar, Vejer and Medina Sidonia. There are also some dramatic rock formations to be seen along the way, plus likely sightings of griffon vultures and hawks, which nest in the rocks. The walk starts at the car park below the Faro de Camarinal in Atlanterra and heads towards the faro, then up the Sierra de la Plata. Although it is mostly uphill on the way out, the views make it worthwhile. You can enjoy them even more while strolling back down. The return route can be varied by leaving the outward path at Waymark 04 and following Walkingworld route 2803 in reverse, descending to the beach, visiting the Roman ruins of Baelo Claudia and returning to Atlanterra via the Bolonia sand-dune.
