Short and nice hike somewhere between Coín and Alhaurin el Grande. Photo-cache. The track can be very slippery when wet.

To find this cache you have to walk over a short hiking path and try to find the correct photo to the waypoints. On the photos is a number and you will have to fill in the number in to get the next waypoint. When you've found all the photos you will be able to calculate the cache location.
Don't be discouraged by the number of waypoints, they are all very close to each other.

To get to the starting point of the cache can be somewhat difficult: Try to find urbanisation Sierra Gorda. Turn directly to the right when entering the urbanisation. Follow this road up the hill (don't take the roads marked as a dead-end).
Park your car at: N 36.40.557 / W 004.42.874
If you think your car is up to it, drive on and park it near to waypoint 1.

Now you have to find the correct photos belonging to the waypoints. There is 1 photo that doesn't match one of the locations!

WP 1:
N36.40.501
W004.42.989
Which photo belongs to this Waypoint? This is A.

WP 2:
N36.40.506
W004.43.07A
Which photo belongs to this Waypoint? This is B.

WP 3:
N36.40.501
W004.43.1B8
Which photo belongs to this Waypoint? This is C.

WP 4:
N36.40.445
W004.43.25C
Which photo belongs to this Waypoint? This is D.

WP 5:
N36.40.4D5
W004.43.192
Which photo belongs to this Waypoint? This is E.

WP 6:
N36.40.47E
W004.43.147
Which photo belongs to this Waypoint? This is F.

You have now finished the first part of the cache. Follow the path back to the car and go to the next stage:
Park at the following co-ordinates:
N36.40.632
W004.42.258

(The best way to get there, is driving all the way back to the urbanisation and take the main road towards Alhaurin/Cartama; take the next exit to the right.

WP 7:
N36.40.6F7
W004.42.213
Which photo belongs to this Waypoint? This is G.

WP 8:
N36.40.579
W004.42.16G
Which photo belongs to this Waypoint? This is H.


Now you can find the cache at:

N 36.EF.G(B-H)F
W 004.E(A-D).(B-D)A(B-E-C)

Found it 3-6-2009 by ponchos
BigSmile phew - picked the warmest day so far to look for this one - but success. Took Mrs Ponchos with me to verify my numbers and location of the prize was imminent! Fantastic views around the area.

Took Nothing Left Nothing. Thanks for the Cache.

Didn't find it 11-5-2009 by yateshk
Very enjoyable if ultimately disappointing Frown
We thought we had got all the clues correct but at the end our final coordinates were probably wrong as we could find no sign of anything appropriate, didn't see anything resembling the photo posted by J Rover.
Still, it was our first attempt at finding a cache and as we live close by and enjoyed the walk we'll do it all again.

Yes, we (jerry) can !!! .... Wink by properly doing homeworks. -In fact, all variables are easily deductible at home-.

Not so good idea to look for the treasure at 8:00 AM. You will get your shoes and pants wet with the dew of the dawn. Frown

I took the curious GC and left an harmonica
Thank you for the cache.

Hooray! FTF!! Joanie and I spent quite a while enjoying the stroll around the hill. We thought one or two of the stages were a little off the coords but not enough to spoil the fun. The rest were spot on and we arrived at the finish where the coordinates were perfect.
Not sure the precise cache position would meet the approval of the ecofriendly people or GC.com for that matter but we really enjoyed the walk and the find. I suspect the cache owner lives nearby but could be wrong!
Thank you for a lovely afternoon's entertainment!
