Unfortunately, we also had great difficulty on the aforementioned scree field. There were no signposts or arrows to be seen, and the path was so dangerous that we had to turn back. As a result, we couldn't complete the entire loop. What a shame.

The cave was created out of necessity. The Sierra del Algarrobo blocks the Gaduares River, forcing the river to erode the rocks to find a way out. The resulting cave complex is nothing short of spectacular. The Cueva del Gato, 17 meters wide and 25 meters high, offers an eroded natural space, where the Gaduares River resurfaces and joins the Guadiaro River. The main pass is over 4 km long. During the drier seasons, 25 individual lakes appear within the cave complex. The longest of these is the so-called Storm Cape and is 114 meters long. The lakes can only be crossed by swimming. The cave has a length of just over 8 km, but you are not allowed to enter.
