Pic L’Ouet (La Casa del Guarda) – Favara

A circuit over Pic L’Ouet a summit on the most northerly sierra of the Costa Blanca Mountain range. It follows the paths and variations of ‘Senderisme A Favara’. A varied route, along low ridges, steep slopes and the descent of a Barranc. Visiting two caves and the unique summit structure of ‘La Casa Del Guarda’. Some steep, rough terrain, with a few scrambly moves both up and down and a little scratchy in places. There are fine views along this fabulous ridge of rocky summits and out over the Valencia plains.
