ROUTE: MALAGA- 7
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.
