The trip:
Great guided hike with a lovely meadow where you can stop for a break. Stone benches with fantastic views mean that there are plenty of places where you can stop for breather. We will pass through pine forests, Mediterranean forests and scrubs. Is not a long trail, so if we have energy and time we will be able to visit an area where different structures from the Spanish civil war are placed (this suppose to add 2km more) . Sierra Huétor was very important in this war and the front between both armies was placed in this area.
