DATA OF INTEREST
DESCRIPTION

The beginning of this path leads to a fir stand where there are old restored houses of the inhabitants of the place, known as Moriscos (little Moors). The humidity in some sections of the route is present, even the stones are covered with ferns and vines.


This route passes by an anthropomorphic tomb and a source of ferruginous waters that, according to popular belief, could cure anemia.
The path ascends to a reforested pine area where an enclosure of donkeys is installed, animals considered essential for survival in the forest until just a few years ago. The rich Mediterranean scrub accompanies even some cave houses, inhabited until the early 70s.

WARNING

On certain days when there are hunting activities (such as cull hunting) the trail may be temporarily closed to ensure visitor safety, so we recommend finding out in advance if there are any such events by calling the natural park office in Alcalá de Los Gazules, phone 856 587 508 (business hours: Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, except public holidays).
