Characteristics

Location

The torca de Hoyu Ciervo is one of the many pits that pierce the eastern slope of the Alto de la Porra, directly below what could be the extreme upper reaches of the Cueto-Coventosa system. It opens at the upper edge of the impressive lapiaz that occupies the north flank of the Alto de la Porra. Access is now facilitated by the Bustablado - San Roque - Calseca road.
