The first 3.5 kilometers runs along an authentic repopulated path of well-preserved sections constructed of masonry. The Lentiscos, a name that comes from yesteryear and very likely associated with the abundance of large mastic trees in this area. Once the first kilometer has been climbed, on a clear day, you can observe in the distance important aspects of Andalusia, as well as the sea. The views of the Guadalentín valley, the Serra de la Tercia and the medieval town of Aledo, are among the most outstanding.
At the end of this first section there is an old plaster quarry, at which point a variety of routes originate. This trek passes through the Collado del Pilón where there is a viewing point for an obligatory stop to observe the spectacular peaks of Espuña and the Barranco de Ballesteros, where the route descends.
From the vantage point, climb through the PR-MU 60.1 to connect with the PR-MU 60. This section also has spectacular views and climbs, zig-zagging through another repopulated path from a previous age. You will love to walk along these roads and discover that once the ice of the old Snow Wells came down at this point. The descent leads to the starting point which passes near the forest of Los Pinos Donceles, a perfectly preserved pine stand. A purely mountainous route that runs through many typical and superb areas within the Sierra Espuña Regional Park.
This route has similarities with the SL-MU 2 «Senda de Las Alquerías» and with the PR-MU 62 «Senda de El Purgatorio», as well as connections to other Espuña trails with the «Umbría de Peña Apartada» and «Pedro López».
