Itinerary description

Show original

Notice VERY IMPORTANT: To get to Palomas Peak itself you have to pay attention to the final section. On three occasions deviations arise. ALWAYS turn to the right. If the last one is not done you finish at the base of the peak with magnificent views but to get to the peak you have to go through the countryside. If you turn to the right, you go by a well indicated path with lots of stones, up to the peak ... you miss a cross, a geodesic level ... there is only a sad pile of stones.

Description.The route starts in the parking lot of the Sandía Cave. Instead of taking the road to the cave there is another one in the opposite direction. That is the faulty trail. Be careful at the beginning with some rotation, but the path is clear. You just have to follow it and be careful in the end as I said before.
