Outings in Mazarron - Route No.13 |
|
DIFFICULTY:- THE ROUTE HAS A GENTLE SLOPE WHICH INCREASES ON THE FINAL STRETCH. NOT DIFFICULT. |
1. The route starts behind the roadside resturant at El Saladillo, on the road from Mazarron towards Murcia.
2. After crossing the old Mazarron to Totana railway line, the path passes through agricultural land with almond trees and some isolated buildings.
3. Some water collects in this ravine, encouraging the growth of ditch reed and fig trees.
4. Magnificent vegetation covers the whole area with a marked difference between the sunny and shady sides of the mountain. Behind are spectacular views of Sierra Almenara and Sierra Espuņa.
5. Small pieces of irrigated land surround a rural house; contrast the presence of apple and pear trees to the more usual olive, carob and almonds.
6. The road connecting Mazarron to la Pinilla comes into view and here the landscape opens out to larger fields.
7. The route ends at the tarmac road MU-V-6034 in a central dip in the Campo de Mazarron, with the peaks of Sierra del Algarrobo facing us.
