El Torcal. A fascinating area in which kilometers or time are not important, because this seems to have stopped here. There is a shorter and a longer route that I highly recommend. If you take your time, you can discover a lot: ibex, vultures and bizarrely beautiful rock formations. Especially when there is not much going on, this is a fantastic place to simply switch off and let the ingenuity of nature work its magic on you.
