This beautiful hiking trail begins next to the Nacimiento park, located in the town of Bélmez de la Moraleda, heading towards the heart of the Sierra Mágina Natural Park along the Cordel de la Laguna cattle trail. In this place we can contemplate the agricultural, livestock and forestry uses of the area, many defensive constructions and the karst modeling of the Sierra Mágina.
We begin our itinerary along the Los Huertos road, between olive groves and orchards watered by the waters of the Gargantón River that are transported through the ditches. Then we connect with the cattle trail, which ascends between gorse and pilgrims along this path used for transhumance. On our tour we will see the Torre del Lucero, a relatively well-preserved watchtower, which during the Reconquest (in the 18th & 19th centuries) was part of the defensive system of the kingdom of Granada.
From Collado del Lucero we can see the castles of Bélmez and Solera and we enter a holm oak grove mixed with some maples. We walk through a karst landscape, a limestone footprint that culminates in a dolina known as the Hoyo de la Laguna, the largest in this protected area.
From the end of the trail you can link up with the signposted Caño del Aguadero trail, starting at the Cuadros recreational area.
From the A-401 take the regional road JA-4201 or the regional road JA-4202 to the municipality of Bélmez de la Moraleda. The hiking trail begins in the town itself, at the end of Avenida de Sierra Mágina.
