Start at the “Acequia trail Guadalmina” a wooden bridge across the Guadalmina river or “Angosturas” canyon. The bridge is located roughly a 1km from Benahavis village.
Following the trail up the hill once across the bridge you come to a dust trail that runs alongside a water irrigation channel. The run is along a fully conditioned path with wooden posts for anti-fall protection. To start with the trail is mostly flat with some ups and downs here and there which is very good for a warm up as there is a steep climb between points 3 & 4 on the route map.
I ran this route in July, one of the hottest months in this part of the world, make sure you take water with you. I use Kalenji Soft Flask 500ml from Decathlon (see image at the bottom of this post)
