DATA OF INTEREST
DESCRIPTION
This easy-to-follow linear path passes through the area of dolomitic soils of the Sierra de Baza Natural Park.
It is a magnificent path that runs through an area of maximum protection of the natural park, with exceptional environmental value that together with the area of high mountain pine forests is another of the most precious treasures of the Sierra de Baza.
Access to the beginning of the hiking trail is through a promenade that starts from Charches. If we look around we will see that the whitish colour, both of the road and the surrounding hills, dominates the view. This type of soil is composed of dolomitic sands, which gives this area of the mountains its peculiar character, since these soils are very poor in nutrients and have little water retention capacity, due to their loose and sandy structure.
The pine forest on this hiking trail is open, so we will not be able to enjoy much shade, an aspect to take into account when choosing the season for our visit.
It is important to remember that it is a linear path, so the return is done by the same path.

HOW TO GET
By car, on the A-92 towards Guadix-Almería, take the exit towards Charches. From the town, take the rambla las dehesas, which we will continue for more than 2 km to the Cuesta de los Cerrillos area. La Rambla is in very poor condition so it is recommended to access it on foot from the town to the beginning of the hiking trail.
