The Ruta del Agua de Guillena is a hiking adventure that immerses you in the natural beauty of Andalusia, combining riverine and forest landscapes. Spanning 21.3 kilometers, the route follows the courses of the Huelva and Cala rivers, offering serene views of the Gergal reservoir, with panoramic viewpoints like the Mirador de la Solana Recio. This trail allows you to appreciate the rich native flora and fauna, perfect for observing waterfowl, and leads you along unpaved paths and old railway lines.
For this challenging route, which will take approximately 5 hours and 36 minutes with an elevation gain of 186 meters, good planning is essential. The best time to hike it is spring or autumn, when the weather is milder and more pleasant for such an extensive walk. The trail features rest and picnic areas, but it's always advisable to carry enough water and provisions for the entire day.
Beyond its natural value, the Ruta del Agua de Guillena has a deep historical connection to Seville's water supply, evidenced by the Carambolo aqueducts you'll see along the way. You'll also encounter landmarks such as the Palacio de Parladé, which adds a touch of historical charm to the journey. The route offers a complete experience, with options for other outdoor activities like swimming or fishing in certain areas.
