Spain 2023 - Gorgeous

Very picturesque village set on the cliffs above the canyon and with great access to the canyon walks. Apparently some excellent restaurants here, but none were open on the 2 nights we were here!

A castle hangs on the cliffs over the village, and there are vulture nests (Well at least 1) on the cliffs opposite the castle. The canyon is spectacular and easy walking. The river was used to transport logs downstreamin 18th Century but now can be crossed by a series of low bridge crossings and stepping stones.

There is a vast cave that has been used for millenia as shelter.Leggi altro

Terrific walk, the canyons keep coming and this is the biggest of them all. First part, just below Chuililla, the Charco Azul, isn't connected to the rest of the canyon as it is too narrow and sheer, but worth the additional effort. If you that section you have to go back to Chulilla to rejoin the main walk. The first section of the walk then follows the canyons edge, until, having paid a 1 Euro entrance fee, you drop in the towering canyon itself, crossing a couple of rope bridges. This is a climbing mecca and there are lots of very fit, tanned men and women dancling off ropes at various levels of the walls of the canyon, but it isn't obtrusive.

Some hard yeards along a dirt track from the dam at the head of the canyon before you drop back down past some very small and inaccessible cave paintings before rejoining the canyon just below ChulillaLeggi altro
