Torre de los Lobos

Just a couple hundred feet south from the turn off to the flat road in Rodalquilar is a another rather non-descript, single lane, paved road that heads into the hills. Parts of this road have been washed out by recent rains and other parts are filled with pot holes but its beauty lies in the way it meanders through the green valley floor, sometimes lined with olive trees and seemingly with no direction.
After about one kilometer you can see the road continue to wind up the hill (switchbacks ahead!) but you're faced with a locked, steel gate. Since this is the Natural Park and it's intensly hiker friendly, we park the car and walk around the gate to begin our 45 minute walk to The Tower of the Wolves.
Without being too much more wordy, I will say that we were joined by Christopher's parents and Laura (who's incredible eye provided the photos in the collage below). The afternoon's stormy skies opened up with a blaze of sunshine that allowed for the perfect photo op!

The tower is an ancient fortess (not really sure how old but we're talking a minimum of a couple hundred years)that has now, sadly become home to cell towers and satalites. It is, however, easy to look past all of the technology when you're faced with views as incredible as these!
