CIRCULAR A ROQUES D’EN BENET

Activity Info

  • Difficult

Description

It is a circular route in Les Roques d’en Benet different from the classic route that goes up the canal. We start the route going up the dirt track until we find the second track that diverts us to the left; this track skirts the Rocks for a few kmsfind to find a landmark of stones, point where we begin the ascent by a canal and quarry to a Roca Foradada. We continue climbing until we find a point where we have to climb, it is the only point, it is not complicated but it must be done on the left side.

Once passed we continue along the path signposted in stone landmarks, but in this case we wanted to find an alternative climb and left the trail to go to the foot of the rocks continuing to climb following them to the top. This stretch has no trail. Once at the top, we have a fantastic panoramic view of the Rocks and surroundings, we had breakfast and to gather strength for the descent down the classic canal. After the descent channel, we continue along the path until we find some stone landmarks that make us ascend towards the beams following a path that starts on the left. The section of Les Feixes is very beautiful but you have to go carefully as the path passes very close to the cliff, this path takes us to the Coll de Membredo, point where we cross the track and take a new path that go up to Punta Botana, and the Benaixa cave. We will not leave this path until the starting point.
