Viewpoint of the Cárcavas de Marchal

The Marchal gullies are a clayey massif, representative of a badland landscape, located in the Guadix basin, within the municipality of Marchal. It is characterized by the abundance of grooved formations as a result of water erosion.

Easy course with paths accessible to everyone, even beginners. Provide good shoes because paths with stones in places. This hike passes through the Miradors de Carcavas and Badlands which are magnificent and unmissable viewpoints in the region of the "cuevas".
We started our hike at 7am to avoid the scorching heat of the day. Much of the route is in the shade through trees but plan your walk depending on the temperature in summer or winter.
We had made a small detour because the route crosses private property, which unfortunately is surrounded by a fence and closed with a padlock. This forced us to bypass this field but we joined the course without problem.

Very nice little hike with geological curiosities.
