Drive up Guindelera

Take a drive high above Lentegi with views across to the Sierra Nevada and down to the sea.
From the Cabra Montes road beyond Otivar take a right hand turn to Lentegi. Dont go right into the village but take the road (tarmac still) on the right signposted for the Polideportivo. Just befor entering the village you will see a signposted turn on the right. This track (no tarmac from now on) will lead you up to the "puerto", a point where the tracks lead on up towards Guindelera and on to the Guajarés (villages in the next valley) or to Albunuelas.
As there had been snow we were advised not to travel on beyond this point. In a 4 wheel drive or in drier months this would be a fantastic drive across the mountain tops. You could walk all the way if you have time and stamina. There are walking maps on the roadsides.
