TRAILS

Don’t think the paths are random. The hiking and trekking routes in Sierra Espuña have been strategically designed to take you through invaluable natural spots.

These routes offer you breathtaking panoramic views and allow you to get to know a historic forest that speaks to you around every corner.

It will tell you about the passing of “el apóstol del árbol” (Quevedo, sometimes called the apostle of the tree), who was a real breath of fresh air at a time when it seemed that the park was dying; about how the mountains you walk on became one of the first ecological refrigerators in the world.

But it also takes you on a journey. Along paths that cross the dense pine forest of Las Alquerías; to see the Mare Nostrum from the Pilón viewpoint; or to get to know El Berro, a beautiful mountain village.

But wait, there’s more. The near-mystical experience of touching the sky from the 1,568-metre-high summit of the second highest peak, Pedro López.

Taking a walk through the magnificent moonlike landscape of Barrancos de Gebas and recharging your batteries in one of the village’s lodgings.

Or, why not, waiting for nightfall to lie on the ground and contemplate a sky bursting with stars.

You’ve never seen anything like it!

Here’s a safety tip: if you decide to walk around Sierra Espuña on your own, stop by the Ricardo Cordorniú Visitor Centre to tell us about your plans. We will be happy to help you with anything you need.
