La Yecla Gorge

Local name: Desfiladero de La Yecla

La Yecla Gorge

La Yecla Gorge is a remarkable natural site consisting of a deep crack in the limestone mountains. A narrow suspended walkway is anchored to the sheer walls, enabling a safe journey through the gorge above the water flow. In certain sections, the cliffs close in so tightly that the sky is reduced to a thin ribbon of light far above. High on the ledges of the surrounding crags, griffon vultures often nest, providing a chance to spot them during the walk. This location perfectly enhances the traditional landscape of the region, offering a thrilling experience of exploring nature's hidden forces.
