Barraca de Tomás – Las Cinglas de Cava (Millares)

The Barraca de Tomás-Cingla de la Cava Route runs through the western end of the municipality of Millares, it covers a distance of 12.5 km and is of moderate difficulty.

It is a path of high landscape and environmental value, that climbs to the departure point of the Barraca de Tomás (706 metres above sea level, km 4.9), with an essential stop at Peña de la Mora (km 0.9), that rises from the void of the Nacimiento Ravine. Then, climbing up the winding path of Mal Paso, we head into the Barranco del Gorrino de Francia ravine, before leaving it and heading back up La Loma Larga to the Barraca de Tomás.

The path back runs along Los Majalicos de Jaime, before reaching the Poza de la Zorra pool, and then you head towards Cingla de las Cavas and can take the opportunity to visit Cueva de la Hiedra cave (km 6.7) which forms a large cavity directly below the Las Cinglas ridges. At this point the steep descent begins towards Fuente de las Cavas spring, where you can rest beside a pond and a walker’s hut. The path continues through the Rincón de Merino and Borrasca nature areas, goes round the Barranco de las Cavas ravine and the El Hondo ravine, until it reaches Las Eras, which presides over the upper part of the town, along the Cabos path.
