La Vereda de la Estrella was built in 1890 to transport the minerals that were extracted from the mines of la Probadora, la Estrella and la Justicia by cavalry.

Hiking

The Vereda de la Estrella is one of the traditional paths that leads to the heart of the Genil valley. It is so beautiful that many people take it as a route on its own, but if we follow the path, it can be linked to the Mulhacén. The path runs parallel to the Genil River, although its waters are not accessible for most of the journey.
