The Rambla Salada de Albatera rises in the tenuous divide between the Sierra de Abanilla and the<strong> Sierra de Crevillente<\/strong>, and has pierced the terrain giving rise to a series of narrow and small waterfalls through which runs this particular hiking route. The first part of the route is easy, and little by little we will find narrow passages, climbs and even some small sections of <strong>via ferrata<\/strong> in its final part (for which it is necessary to have the appropriate equipment and training). One of the most striking <strong>geological<\/strong> aspects is the presence of abundant <strong>salt formations<\/strong> in the bed of the wadi.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c92f8b9 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"c92f8b9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkalicante.com\/rambla-salada-albatera\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Rambla Salada &gt;&gt; Route<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-135676e elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"135676e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5889d9a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5889d9a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3.
