On the road to Montejaque we had passed a park area called El Hundidero so on our return journey we took a slight detour and stopped off for a look.

We parked the car just off the road and proceeded on foot down a track into the valley.
The park is the site of an abandoned dam project which as a result now has a cave complex stretching 5kms.

The track was lined with these lovely plants.

In days past, the occupiers of this ruin would have had a place of perfect peace and tranquility.

The track gave way to a path which wound it's way further down into the gorge to the entrance of the cave complex. We could see and hear quite a few intrepid walkers way down below us but decided to stop at this point and just admire the view.
