Whilst on a recent trek in the Sierra Nevada up the Cerro de Caballo we came across a Refugio that is unmarked and un-named as far as we can tell. It is not that big, maybe sleeps 3 or 4 persons, but looks weatherproof and a good bivvy site. Worth knowing about.

It is located on the S side of the Cerro de Caballo at about 2840m in the area of the Hoyo del Zorro, just 300m north of the old ruins of the Leprosy refuge. Grid Ref 04608 40962. If wanting to use it in winter, take a shovel!

The photos below show the location below the Caballo and a blow up of the actual refuge.
