Itinerary description

18 11 2020

Valle Secreto La Noria

This walk is a bit of a hidden gem that starts from the Arenales quarry recreational area.
The walk heads into La Noria woods, then heading up arroyo de los Pilones.

It is a circular walk to the west side of the quarry.
Passing Puerto de la Cantera you take the turning on your right which goes to the Mirador viewing area. This is a good spot for a break.
Heading back you get to Puerto de la Graja with the big famous Aleppo pine in the middle.
Then head back passing the quarry on your right to the parking area.
There are many walks in this area so it gets quite busy at the weekends.
