Embarking from the charming town of Níjar, our journey takes us northwards along a road that meanders through the valley floor, leading towards the quaint village of Huebro. This area is steeped in local history and offers a glimpse into traditional rural life. As we progress north of Huebro, we approach the Collado del Romero, a hill that presents us with panoramic views and a procession of historic windmills that stand as sentinels to the past.
The trail at Collado del Romero veers northeast, guiding us through a tapestry of stunning landscapes, dotted with lesser-known hills and hidden valleys that beckon exploration. The path is a harmonious blend of natural splendour and serene tranquillity, inviting hikers to discover the secrets of Sierra Alhamilla.
As we near Turrillas, we traverse La Rellena, an area that serves as the gateway to the Peñón de las Turrillas. Rising to an elevation of 1,092 metres, this prominent peak offers a vantage point that affords breathtaking views. From its summit, one can witness the grandeur of Sierra Alhamilla, with vistas that stretch across the rugged terrain and beyond, offering a moment of reflection and awe at the natural beauty of the region.
