Today I approach the city of Cieza and when I cross the river I see people bathing and some canoes, what a contrast between the freshness of the water and the dryness that I find in the Sierra de La Atalaya a few miles further on. These two peaks located on the same ridge are ledges of pure bare rock where drought-adapted shrubs and some pines grow.
There is no defined trail so you can climb using common sense to avoid getting hit, you will not find anyone on the route either but you will see green fields of fruit trees and irrigation ponds from above.
