About 5 hours or more.
Route Torcal de Antequera- Antequera- Torcal.
We start leaving Antequera along the road N-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 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, is an easy route to be walked through, goes on up to the Pilón del Fraile.
The red route, is 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.
