The summits of Morron Chico (1444m) and Morra de las Moscas (1502m) via caracol from El Berro
A delightful walk along an open ridge with a stiff climb up a fire break followed by an enchanting track up to the 2 summits of the ridge. Return via a “village” of ice houses (neveras) woodland tracks and a simple barranco back to the El Berro
