Mirrador del Castellón and Refugio de Sierra Crestillina,
Casares, Málaga Province
The Mirador del Castillón set in the Sierra Crestellina nature area is still a hidden treat for hikers and nature lovers alike. The hike to the Viewpoint is a 6,5 km leisurely hike from the village or if you take the more direct rout it is about 2,5 km on a steep rocky path.
When choosing this as a picnic spot you find yourself surrounded by outstanding natural beauty, you will have 360º panoramic views and you sit under the watchful eyes of the birds of prey, especially the Griffon Vultures. The Sierra Crestellina is one of the major natural habitats for these majestic birds.

You might have to share your sandwiches with the goats!
