Circuit around the flanks of Benicadell

A circuit across the lower slopes of the magnificent peak of Benicadell. Visiting caves with paintings (note; gates were locked at the time of writing) and a ruined castell. Mainly good easy paths though some are steep both up and down. Fine views over the countryside.
