Antequera, el Torcal route
LOCATION: Torcal de Antequera- Antequera- Torcal- Rutas Pedestres.
TIME: More than five hours.
DESCRIPTION: We shall leave Antequera along the road nº
331 towards Villanueva de la Concepción. After having
walked for about 12 km. Going round El Torcal de Antequera
on its northeastern side, there is a track branching off to
the reight wich leads to the shelter Refugio de los Polvillares,
wich will be the starting point for several routes of interest
throughout El Torcal area.
The view from El Torcal is very impressive and different from
any other view we have seen before. Water and time have moulded
the rock, wich has a phantasmagoric appearance, surprising
at every step.
The yellow route, an easy route to be walked through, goes
on up to the Pilón del Fraile. The red route, more
difficult and long, approaches the Chaparro chasm and then
reaches the Puerto de la Chispa to subsequently make its way
back to the shelter along Los Topaderos lane.
