ALPUJATA VALLEY REVERSE

Leaving Monda car park, the walk leads through the village and down into the Alpujata Valley passing an old lime kiln on the way. The path crosses to the other side of the valley and up quite a steep gradient into the pine woods. Once at the top of the incline it is, more or less, downhill all the way. After leaving the pine forest the route descends towards a small polígono, then along a narrow path that leads back to Monda where refreshments can be taken in the usual bar next to the fountain.
