The best time to hike this trail is during the spring and autumn months when the weather is mild and the natural beauty of the area is at its peak. During these seasons, the Sierra de Aracena is adorned with vibrant colours, making the landscapes even more picturesque. In spring, the area bursts into bloom with wildflowers and lush greenery, while autumn brings a stunning display of foliage as the leaves change colour.

If you visit in spring, you can also enjoy the sight of local wildlife emerging after the winter months, and if you visit in autumn, you might catch the harvesting of local produce, including chestnuts and other seasonal delights. Overall, these periods provide the best conditions to fully appreciate the natural beauty and tranquillity of the Sierra de Aracena.
