1.          a.    From Malaga, take the motorway westwards towards Cartama. Go to No.2 below.

        b.        From Malaga Airport, take the motorway towards Malaga, and after about 1km take the turning for Motril. This takes you onto a parallel motorway. Follow (c) below.

        c.        From the Torremolinos direction, approaching Malaga on the motorway, make for Cartama and Universidad. This turnoff has a 1 Km dedicated motorway lane before arriving at the slip road. The slip road immediately divides into two take the left one signposted to Cartama. After going under a bridge, immediately branch to the right across a scissor-type junction onto a circular slip road towards Cartama (a pillar of signs is in front of you). This road joins the motorway leading westwards from Malaga. Go to No.2 below.

        d.        From the north and east (Madrid, Granada, Seville, etc), take the Granada to Seville motorway. From the north, after passing Antequera on the left, branch left towards Campillos and in the direction of Olvera and Jerez. From the east – follow the Seville to Granada motorway turning off to the right near Osuna towards Campillos. Note: There are a number of turning to Malaga before reaching Campillos - do not take them. Nearing Campillos, follow directions to Malaga. This is a fairly new fast road and not shown on all maps. Do not take the Carratraca road to Alora, but continue for about 18 Kms and turn left towards Pizarra and Alora. After about 0.5km, turn left towards Alora and Ardales Natural Park. Continue with number 4 below.

2.             After about 25 Kms, the motorway changes to an ordinary road . Continue in the direction of Campillos on this road for about 5Km (3 to 5 minutes) until reaching a right turning signposted to Alora and Pizarra.

3.             Take this road and after only a short distance there is a T junction signposting Alora and Pizarra to the right. Continue up the slope and follow the road as it curves left towards Alora (about 7Km away).

4.             On approaching the Alora area, do not take the left hand turning signposted to Alora [Nuevo Acceso], but continue straight on and around a right-hand bend, over a river bridge and up a slope to a T junction with Los Caballos Bar/Restaurant high on the left hand bank.

5.             Turn left towards Alora and Ardales Natural Park, and continue along this winding road (about 1 Km) until you reach the beginning of a village. At the roundabout (not very obvious) turn left towards Alora.

6.             The road crosses over a river and railway line. Continue up the winding hill into the outskirts of Alora until reaching roundabout (about 2Km and just after the Municipal Piscina (swimming pool) on the right). Turn right towards El Chorro at the roundabout.

7.             This winding road leads out of Alora. About 3-4 minutes drive (about 2km) from the roundabout and going down a hill, there is a solitary bus shelter on the left. After two more bends, there is a yellow 2 km sign on the right (sometimes hidden by weeds). (If you get to a double bend sign with a 40 km speed limit, you have gone too far. Reverse about 30 meters). Between these two signs there is a tarmac track on the right,marked by a sign "casa blanca", two wooden wheely bin containers and a small peach coloured bungalow called Le Triangulo on the corner. Turn down this track in front of the bungalow gates.

8.             Continue around several bends and past Villa Martin (on the right). The track now drops down to a small stream (dry in the Summer) with a concrete wall facing you. Turn sharp right and go under the Railway Bridge, then immediately turn sharp right.

9.             Follow the track for 100 metres.
