Moderate About this route
The Bujero is a curious natural hole in rock at about 1,100 m altitude with impressive panoramas. From there, part of the terms of Molinicos, Elche de la Sierra, and Letur can be seen.
The route begins in the urban center of Molinicos and descends towards the old town of the village to start an ascent that leads to the village, now uninhabited, known as Las Hermanas, whose clock, installed in the first half of the 20th century, is a symbol of the area.
It is a circular route except for the path, which is linear, that reaches the Bujero. The route ends again in Molinicos passing by the farmhouse of El Retamar.
Recommended for those over 12 years old.
