Itinerary description
From the parking just outside the quarry gate we take a broad track left to pick up the rambla, we follow this for a while before picking up a hunters track cutting across to a higher rambla. We follow this for a short time then steeply ascend a Ridge with no distinct path. Continuing upwards we pick up narrow tracks along the ridges enjoying the views. Eventually reaching the summit Ridge where we have lunch at the trig point at the highest point at 606 m. The descent wanders pleasantly down a Ridge until we reach a steep rock wall. The 'staircase' path goes to the left and then track right over rough ground to reach another rambla. We follow this past the quarry back to the cars.

a great walk over the hills with a bit of a tricky navigation for the descent. Excellent views all round if you ignore the scarring left by the nearby quarry workings.
