RUTA A: GÜÉJAR SIERRA - PEÑA PARTIDA - Ventana del Visitante
The route from Güéjar Sierra to the Peña Partida shelter is as hard as it is beautiful. This route passes through the urban part of the municipality, areas of meadow, rivers, oak and holm oak forests, cherry tree farms and the high mountain of Sierra Nevada.
You can start in the centre of the urban centre of Güéjar Sierra. Afterwards, you will enter the terrace fields of crops on the slopes of La Solana. The vegetation grows small and trees are scarce until reaching the Maitena riverbed. Then everything changes. On both sides of the path there is abundant vegetation dominated by cherry trees, holm oaks and oak groves. We cross the Acequia del Tío Papeles, one of the many irrigation canals that run along the slopes of the Sierra Nevada. Once at the top, the domain of snow and ice begins, which can condition traffic in winter. If it is possible to pass through, you will be surrounded by breathtaking scenery in both winter and summer. As the route progresses, one intuits what in the end becomes reality.
A classic but always impressive panorama of the high peaks; the heart of the Sierra Nevada National Park.
