Sierra de la Sagra in Granada is located across the Sierras de Cazorla and Segura. If we visit Sierra de la Sagra during the winter, it is quite likely that we find snow and roads cut because its weather is quite cold; however, if we visit during spring or summer, we can enjoy beautiful scenery during our ascent to the summit.
If we want to ascend to the summit of Sierra de la Sagra, we find different options when choosing our starting point:
Starting the hiking trail from 'Collados de la Sagra', we follow the trail that brings us to the base of 'La Pedrera' at 1818 metres height. Without leaving the trail of Umbria de la Sagra, we descend until reaching Toscanillos at 1730 metres altitude.
Continuing along this path, we come to a fork that offers a descent to the 'Refugio de la Sagra' and an ascent to 'Las Viboras' (1852 metres). We take the second path, which will lead us to the eastern summit of La Sagra at 2383 metres height.
This trail is of low difficulty and its length is about 5.24 kilometres. You can drive to the Refuge de la Sagra to save part of the journey.
This route begins near the area known as 'Collado de la Sagra', which can be reached by road and is situated about 28 kilometres by car from Huescar.
From there, we take the path that will lead us to the top along beautiful views and a perfectly marked trail. After an hour and a half of ascension, we begin to see the summit of La Sagra.
From Huescar, we get to the Cueva del Agua at about 19 kilometres by car, from where we can also do other tours. The ascent to the summit will take us about two and a half hours approximately.
During the ascent, we find the cave Cueva de los Candeleros, formerly used as a shelter and which has difficult access because of its narrow entrance.
Once at the top, we find two shelters formed by rocks to cut the wind, ideal if you carry a sleeping bag during the summer season. From here, we can see the Milky Way and other surrounding mountains like Sierra Nevada at night.
To reach Huescar, take the road to Granada and Guadix, from where we follow the road N-342 direction to Baza. After passing Dullar and Galera, we reach Huescar.
