 | Time: 1hr 10 mins. Location: The "Badlands" - Cueva de Amos. GPS: 532577 / 4171248 | Comments: We pass an old cavehouse on the left that has been unoccupied for many years. Originally it was used by the people who controlled the farming of esparto grass, which was a big industry in this area in past centuries (see Castilléjar museum and here). Depending on how long we want the walk to be, we can continue on to Galera which is 15km from Castilléjar. |
