Balsas de la Ballestilla Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

An abandoned settlement with lots of ruins. Thanks to the abundance of water, there must have been a larger settlement and some agriculture. Was it abandoned because of the nature park?
The large water basins are probably catchment basins for the "agricultural water" that is used in the village.

View of Castillo de San Pedro

Highlight • Viewpoint

We walked up to here before we turned back because of the late hour. From here you can see the Bay of San Pedro and the White Rocks opposite for the first time.

Ruins of a defensive castle in a spectacular setting. It has been declared a site of cultural interest, although it is not in a very good state of conservation, something that has been claimed several times.

Magnificent hike.
A taste of volcanic coves from a time when everything was unregulated.

January 2, 2026,Hike Las Negras (E) - Cortijo de Ricardillo-Collado Cerro Negro-Castillo San Pedro (rondje) 8/10

A pleasant hike with a steady climb to the summit of Ricardillo, then along the ridge to the rather technical descent (not really for beginners!!). A short walk to the castle ruins and back via the classic route! A beautiful day in the Cabo de Gata nature reserve!!
