[RWD version 1 ] Cerro De Caballo is the lowest of the 3,000m mountains of Sierra Nevada, at between 3,005 and 3,011m depending on the map. Awkward to get at, the route involves a 4x4 taxi from Niguelas to the Mirador de la Rinconada de Niguelas at over 2,000m, after which it is straightforward - roughly 3:15 got me to the peak and back to the Mirador. There remained the issue of getting back to Niguelas. Although there is a rough road, I didn't fancy a 14k road descent, so I plotted a more interesting way down making use of a number of waymarked trails.
