Itinerary description
One of the most difficult walks of the season for only the most serious of "hill" walkers. From Sopalmo (195m) we walk the rambla for about 5km before some very steep ascents to La Adelfa at 657m for lunch. Fantastic views all around. After lunch we descend by road for about 8km for a welcome drink at El Sopalmo bar.

a great gradual ascent from Sopalmo to the village of La Adelfa. Gentle start on the dirt road from Sopalmo then the trail gradually steepens as height is gained moving out of the rambla onto the open hillside. A few short steep gravelly sections near the top don't present any real difficulty and they are short. Descent can be made either down the road (long and winding ) or down the ridge accessed from near the village steeper but a lot shorter than the road. Excellent views on a clear day.
