Itinerary description

We took a wrong route to start with, the east side of the Hozgarganta is better. An easy and clear path until it turns up the hill. The shorter path to Cueva de Laja Alta is hard to find because it is narrow and bushes grow and obscure the way. With a GPS it is easy enough to find the path again, but it is a steep trail and the vegetation quite dense and scratchy. We lost the path at the top near the cave (tiredness probably, and its not on obvious path). Returning we took the road way. This is very easy. It is good for returning (although much longer) but would be a dull walk to the cave. Doing it again I would take the same route (but miss out the mistakes at the start and at the cave).
7:52 hours
