Approach notes

Parking and access

GPS : 38.554416, -0.178272

Parking on Google Maps

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.
