Yesterday we hiked the Ruta Gollizno at Moclin. A beautiful descent into a dramatic gorge with rope bridges and a heavily vegetated (cool!) river valley, followed by a tough ascent in the afternoon heat back up to the town. The cold beers afterwards were most welcome!
@elperronegro 😃 We did this with the kids the exact same way a couple of years ago, beers included 🍻, and we then wondered whether it was better to do it in the other direction, that is, with the final ascent up through the gorge ... 🤔
@AdamBishop We were contemplating that in the bar afterwards. I think the anti clockwise route could well be better as at least there is interest and some tree shade coming back up to town. The way back we took was boring and monotonous in the 32 degree heat.
@elperronegro It seems so natural to take on the gorge first, that way you get to see the exciting bit almost immediately, but, heading back at the bottom, you are facing the wrong way with your back to actually quite a nice view over to Granada, and under the sun. But heading down valley first doesn't give you a great idea of what is to come when you finally head upwards 🤷♂️. Next time we'll try it for sure, but we already know what is coming 😅 .
