The trail connects with the road from Istán to Marbella, next to the recreational area and the San Miguel chapel. From its lookout point, you can enjoy one of the best views of the reservoir. The final stretch follows a dirt road to the vicinity of the Hotel Altos de Istán and returns to the village.
The trail descends to the area around the reservoir, passing by El Descansaero, a small traditional lookout point with views of the Río Verde Valley. It then continues along old irrigation ditches and forest trails alongside the reservoir.
The trail climbs toward the Istán-Marbella road and reaches the San Miguel Chapel, where you can enjoy one of the best panoramic views of the reservoir before heading back to Istán.
