Walk 17: Just before you meet the dirt road at Puerto de Marbella, there is a good path off to the left which leads to the top of Cruz de Juanar (45min up, 25 down). This is an excellent viewpoint and is a good extension for those with time and energy. (User, 7/10) [Editor's note: Presumably this user is referring to the path shown on the map.)

Walk 21: There is now a very clear junction at Llano de las Presillas, with signposts to Grazalema and Puerto del Boyar, and the path is very clear all the way to Grazalema. (User, 7/10)

Walk 22: It is easy to go wrong after the Casa Fardela fuente. It would be a good idea to include a photo showing the rock 'wall' so the user can see what you mean. The path is easy to follow, with wayposts, all the way from Puerto del Boyar to Benaocaz. Some of the gates, and the need to climb a wall at
4h35min, have been eliminated. At 4h09min there is no gate but there is a waypost directing you to the left, thus missing the Cortijo de la Fuentezuela. The marked path does go past a ruined structure a little later, which may or may not be the Cortijo del Santo. (User, 7/10)
