"Today’s peakclimbing started at the restaurant Ballabona(A-7) with the goal of reaching two peaks on the western ridge of the Embalse de Cuevas de Almanzora: Cerro del Retablo at 459 meters and Cerro del Margues at 404 meters. The first obstacle was crossing the Rambla de la Ballabona. After that, I followed the dirt road through the developing plantations and took the path to the right of the water reservoirs toward the El Chaupin mountain range. The climb continued through a saddle heading east, followed briefly by a looped trail. I then ascended along the left side of Cerro del Margues toward Cerro del Retablo. From the top, the view over the Embalse de Cuevas de Almanzora in the evening light was striking. The return route involved peak-hopping with some rocky sections and dense, prickly maquis shrubs. I passed through the plantation again and returned to Ballabona." — belgianIbex • Oct 31, 2025
