SORBAS, CARATRICE, EL CHIVE

After a brief walk up the rambla we ascend from Los Alias and cut across the campo to La Mela. From the high point of 592m one can often see the snow peaks in the Sierra Nevada. After La Mela we follow the Rambla south towards Sorbas to see the 5000 year old cave paintings before returning in a figure of 8 loop with a climb to 615 metres. Long walk, often tricky under foot.
