Grey Rock
A rocky cave near the River Genil, accessible via a footpath, offers a journey into the past through its history and natural surroundings.
The Peña Parda Cave, also known as the Cueva del Anillo due to its shape, is a rock cavity situated just a few metres from the start of the Norias del Río Genil trail. After skirting the campsite on the right-hand side, a path leads uphill; you then need to leave the path to descend into the cave. Inhabited until the middle of the last century, this formation remains untouched by the passage of time.
