    Going up to the Águila peak is one of the most attractive and easy routes that can be done on the eastern coast of Granada, since it combines landscape, with impressive views of both the marine strip and the interior, with the Lújar and Contraviesa mountains, and They show a sequence of ecosystems that are part of the purest thermo-Mediterranean and Mesomediterranean bioclimatic floor in the highest areas. From the road between Gualchos and El Conjuro, a little more than two kilometers away, there is a lane that connects directly with the trails to the highest peak on the Granada coast. Only 1.5 kilometers that show slopes cultivated with almond trees and areas of esparto trees where the original ecosystem degraded by the passage of time and climate emerges. After the lane, the path continues towards an old disused shooting range, a point where the calar begins, an ecosystem of limestone rocks and marble that becomes karstic towards the highest point of the Águila summit.

      Rockroses, male rosemary, torvizco shrubs, junipers, small olive trees, wild olive trees, thyme, broom, espartal grass and many other species typical of a coastal ecosystem, which receives a high level of humidity, with real surprises among its most characteristic species. This is the case of Teucrium rixanense, whose name refers to the Rijana and is considered an endemic species of this small territory, where it is also possible to find Mediterranean orchids, some of them very rare.
