PR-CV 203 RIO GRANDE - ABRIGO DE VORO

Promoter: Asociación Macizo del Caroig

Certification status: Conditioned quality control

2 reviews

Following the inspection carried out by trail technicians, this trail has been declared of "limited adequacy" as a result of the faults detected in the signage. These include inadequate horizontal signs (paint markers) and/or vertical ones (trailheads and information boards) or lacking direction markers that do not provide sufficient information to properly follow the route. The builder of this trail has been informed of the situation.
For safety reasons and during maintenance work, it is advised to be extremely careful while taking this route. Furthermore, mountain sports entail risks associated with the activity itself and the environment where they take place, for which any person is fully liable. For this reason, hikes need to be planned properly and adequate training, equipment and sensible use of the trails are required.

This trail takes you through pine woods where important limestone walls called "cinglas" stand. At the foot of the cinglas runs the Grande river. Following the course of the river will take you to the Voro shelter. Once you leave the shelter you can walk through the interior of a large forest mass and pass by the ruins of Eliseo's house, which has a centenary fig tree. This route finishes next to Charco de la Horteta, where you started.

Route description (only available in Spanish)

Desde el parking de los Charcos de Quesa subimos por un camino entre algunas casas de veraneo para remontar el río Grande. Dejamos a nuestros pies los conocidos Charcos para seguir subiendo, ahora por senda. Pasamos por la cueva del Carbo, un antiguo corral protegido por una balma. Un poco más adelante la senda baja hasta el río. Enfrente encontramos la fuente Víbora. El sendero cruza de un lado a otro del cauce recortando los meandros y buscando los márgenes altos del cauce. En ocasiones, las paredes no permiten otra cosa que caminar por el lecho de grava siempre remontando el río Grande. Un poste y una negativa nos indican que hemos de subir por una senda muy bien trazada hasta la parte alta de los cinglos donde encontramos el abrigo de Voro (arte rupestre Levantino). Al poco, el sendero sale a un camino más ancho que siguiendo la loma divisoria nos conduce a la parte alta. Pasamos por la Sima de la Higuera hasta el collado Verdinos. Ahora, giramos a la derecha por una pista mucho más ancha y en buen estado que ya no dejaremos. Pasamos por la casa Eliseo, en ruinas. La pista sigue el trazado de la vereda de la Sarnosa al Planil y el firme de tierra deja paso al asfalto que ya no dejaremos hasta el final del recorrido. Al poco, encontramos algunas señales del SL - CV 38 y más adelante el señalizador del PR - CV 204. En el cruce de carretera tomamos la derecha para bajar al inicio del sendero. A pocos metros antes de llegar el PR - CV 204 se desvía por la izquierda a la altura del charco de la Horteta.
