From the Standard Trailhead below the Farm at Cortijo de Alto de Torres I made my Way over the Gate and followed up the Road to the Farm. I was greeted by several Dogs barking and lots of Sheep’s. As I was trying to get around the Fence-line the Farmer told me it’s ok to walk through and stay on the Road. Once past the Farm the Road continues and later becomes a Trail at the Stream Crossing. This is also a Trail-junction, I stayed on the left side and followed he Trail up to the Fence-line where I made a right turn and went up the trail first and later a steep trail on the ridge to get around the Mountain. The Trail passes just below the Cave which I visited on my return. Actually not much to see, The Place stinks and is used by Sheep’s as a resting Place. A bit disappointing. The trail keeps going around till reaching the Summit with its usual Trig Pilar. Returned the same way to the Cave and down a faint Trail to make this a Loop Hike. Not very well marked, steep and loose. Maybe better as an ascent Route but going down was slow and tedious. Once back at the Steam Crossing I followed the Road back past the Farm and the Parking Lot below.
