DIRECTIONS - this is an easy one!
- Park outside Sara's bar in Cantoria
- Walk EAST along Calle del Almanzora, keeping the converted Cantoria station house on your left
- Keep on this trail (the old railway) and you will pass through a tunnel. With the red look out area above that.
- Soon after the tunnel, and after the train signal post, you will see three paths, take the LEFT option.
- Keep on this until you reach the road, and opposite the Tanatoria
- Turn right and walk on the road
- Take a left to continue on the old railway (there's an old railway signal house around here)
- Continue on the old railway
- You will come to a rather rickety bridge, cross over it. If you feel worried about this, take the LEFT path which goes down and up to the other side of that bridge
- Keep walking along the old railway, under a much smaller bridge.
- Follow on this main path, without deviating - you will eventually go through another tunnel with EL Badil on your right.
- Keep on this until you come to the gardens - walk through the gardens
- You are now in Almanzora and have a variety of bars to choose from
When you are ready to return, you walk back exactly the same way.
