Outdoor Recreation is offering The Garganta del Capitán hike, which is located in the municipality of Algeciras within the limits of the Los Alcornocales Natural Park and the Intercontinental Biosphere Reserve of the Mediterranean. Along the route we find laurel forests with alders, ash trees, laurels and gall oaks in the Garganta area. On the way we can enjoy the views of the Bay of Algeciras, the cork oak forest, or the public mountain Hoyo de Don Pedro. We can also see tombs from the Bronze Age carved in the sandstone rock as well as the tombstone of the supposed "Captain" that gives its name to this gorge as well as old flour mills whose remains can still be seen on the banks of the stream. Along the trail there are frequent areas of shade.  Maximum altitude is 140 m, unevenness of 125 m.
