Étape 1 : From the start sign, turn right down an alley after the war memorial (former Espinchal home). Cross the main road and a bridge to go right up a path. At the fork, keep right on an inconspicuous path between two rows of trees. At the road, go left for 250 m to a ladder on the right.
Étape 2 : Cross it and go down into the pasture towards a footbridge and ladder. Cross them and follow a path along the stream into the woods. The path veers to the right into the wood (at mid-slope, an orientation table 30 m away). Continue uphill to a gravel path.
Étape 3 : Cross it to take a forest track that follows the ridge and descends through the woods. Cross the D625. Head downhill. The track veers to the right and joins the road again, which you follow to the left. Pass the “Espinchal” sign. At the first crossroads, turn left down a small, winding road to the D26.
Étape 4 : Cross it, cross a bridge, then take the very steep road through the campsite. At the crossroads, turn right onto a road and return to the starting point.
