From Obón, we will cross the Martín river along the bridge, in the direction of Estercuel-Torre de las Arcas. We will follow a trail to the hotel, approximately where the path starts. This will take us above the Martín river canyons, and under the village to the Regallo ravine. At the confluence, where the ravine meets the Martín river, we will probably have to cross the river twice to reach the shelter with the Coquinera rock paintings. These are also fenced in; access to the paintings is available only to those with permission, or who are traveling with authorized guides.
We will cross the river again at the mouth of the Gabache ravine, on the left side of the Martín river, at the border of the villages of Obón and Alcaine. We will take a short hill-route up, to avoid the narrow channels of the Martín river. The path goes along the left bank of the Martín to the Benicozar mountain and the Cañada de Marco straits. We will use springs and other surface indications at the foot of the Benicozar mountain to guide us. The Cañada de Marco rock paintings, on the right bank of the river, can be reached via a footbridge. |
