SATURDAY 1FT NOVEMBER

 

You can travel by bus (Primera Plus, 8:10am) or in your own car. During the first part of the trip you will see a wide variety of cacti, followed by nothing but lush, green vegetation upon entering the reserve. The meeting place is La Cañada (Pinal de Amoles), where you will climb aboard a minibus or suburban at 11, having lunch half an hour later in the "El Mirador de Cuatro Palos" café  from where we will enjoy the magnificent view followed by a walk along a path to the highest point.
