While Yecla, Spain, is known for its Monastrell wine, it will always be the home of Monte Arabí to me, in addition to the town’s status as home to two of the three Colombian expatriate Martinez girls, of course.
Looming some 3,500 feet above the Mediterranean Sea 50 miles to the southeast, Monte Arabí is a UNESCO World Cultural Site, so designated for a series of petroglyphs in rock shelters that date to between 2,000 and 6,000 BCE.
The limestone mountain’s geological features include cup-shaped rock formations, rugged hollows, detached and broken cliffs, cavities, caves, shelters, and gentle hills.
