@shantara you know, I always assumed heading east from Lanjaron would be the best route but ..... you are correct, Laroles west to Lanjaron would be a much better way.

@shantara that's great! We live right alongside the GR7 above Lanjarón so you must have passed our house on your travels. If you do it again you must call in for a chat 😃

@tapasinthesun I used to love Soportujar. It was like a ghost town when I walked through the GR7 path. Quiet and traditional. A friendly bar too. Seems to me that some of this attraction has been lost...
