Itinerary description

Barranco de Biniaraix to Cima es Cornador Gran (947 m) - Mirador d’en Xin Quesada, - Cima es Sementer Gran (1,003 m), through the Sierra de Alfabia back along the Camí Vell de Biniaraix with a stop at the Cueva de ses Alfàbies. Absolutely beautiful!

GPS malfunction part way up the Barranco so continue on the main path and ignore the apparent detour off the GR between kilometres 2.3 and 2.5.

Trail is clear and well-marked except for the section through the Sierra de Alfabia after turning towards Es Sementer Gran - here there are rock cairns and an inconsistent trail. While it is not technically difficult I would say it requires comfort with uneven terrain and route finding.
