TIME(approx.): 6 hours.
Leave Antequera along the road 331 towards Villanueva de la Concepción. After having walked for 12Km 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 region.
The view from El Torcal is impressive and very 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 way, an easy route to be walked through, goes on up to the Pilón del Fraile. The red way, 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.
