DATA OF INTEREST
DESCRIPTION
This hiking trail connects three farmhouses that are a manifestation of the adaptation of popular architecture to the environment and represent a culture that inspired Federico García Lorca to write "Blood Wedding". The Cortijo del Fraile owes its fame to a crime that occurred in the 1920s, when a bride fled from an arranged wedding while the guests traveled on mules at night to avoid the heat.
Accompanying the semi-desert landscape of cisterns, wells and pits, there are some hundred-year-old olive trees along the hiking trail, testimony to past agricultural activity.
The hard life of the peasants of that time - work, isolation and poverty - left its mark on the landscape. The steppe landscape is the background of this historical development, and will no doubt be the main appeal of the hiking trail for many.
