Cliff Top Circuit (Via del Escaleron & la Raya)

This superb route follows the Y/W marked PR – CU37 throughout. Weaving up via El Escaleron to reach and follow the cliff top (the home of many Vultures). To circle around the valley which surrounds the attractive lagoon, via numerous miradors, before descending via La Raya, through impressive cliff scenery. Mostly good paths and tracks. Some steep ground both up and down the cliffs. The traverse across the cliffs of La Raya is a little exposed, though the ledge is quite wide and level. A very photogenic route.
