15-20minute walk-in
Parking and access
GPS : 38.554416, -0.178272
There is building work going on (Jan 2021) and there are road diversions.
Please don’t jeopardise access!
Park nicely, don’t block access to houses or to building plots. Keep a low profile. Leave if challenged.
From the parking, walk up the hairpin concrete road. Watch out for construction lorries.
At the top, turn right, pass a chain, and walk along a tarmaced level road for ~250m. It then bends left, and on the left is a path down into a dry river bed. (5 minutes)
Follow the dry river bed gently uphill, the path winds about a bit.
The river bed trends left after a few hundred metres. Don’t leave the river bed.
Eventually (~10 minutes in the gully) you will see the cave above you. Go straight ahead, and then at the last moment a path leads up and right to exit just right of the cave.
For sector cueva - there are old routes in the cave and four more new routes left of the cave
For sector cabra - turn right and follow the path that follows under the crag.
