The total time for this hike is approximately four hours, making it a perfect half-day adventure.
This walking tour offers the opportunity to enjoy a pleasant stroll through the area of Sierra Nevada, without venturing too deep into the mountains. It's a chance to immerse oneself in the natural beauty of the region and to experience the tranquillity of the great outdoors.
The journey begins in the town of Abrucena. From here, we follow the track leading to the recreational area of La Roza (there is parking in the area), ascending a beautiful cliff rich in diverse plant species. This part of the hike offers a unique opportunity to observe the local flora and to enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding landscape.

After walking for about four and a half kilometres, passing by the El Peral houses, we arrive at the San Martín country house. At this point, we leave the track to make our way upwards through a cliff in a steep valley, now without a track. This part of the journey offers a bit of a challenge, but the breathtaking views make it well worth the effort.
From this point onwards, we arrive at the Cortijada el Relleno, a country estate surrounded by chestnut, almond and plum trees. The estate is home to many orchards and a spring that flows all year round, offering a serene spot to rest and enjoy the natural beauty of the area.
The return journey can be made along the same track leading back to Abrucena, allowing for a leisurely walk back while taking in the sights and sounds of the Sierra Nevada.
