ドルの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ7

An idyllic place for camping. Excellent facilities and beautiful surroundings.

The Canaleja Alta Shelter is located in the recreational area of the same name, located at the head of the Canaleja ravine. This refuge is on the road that leads to the Prados del Rey and the Calares. The area is cool, with dense vegetation and numerous water currents. The recreational area has tables and barbecues under the trees, and the shelter itself is a two-story rectangular building. If you want to explore the surroundings, you will find the Neveros, Collado del Resinero and GR-7 trails near the refuge. Enjoy nature in Canaleja Alta! 🌲🏞️

Located right at the highest point of the Raga pass (2000 meters), the Ragua refuge is a mountain refuge with a guard and capacity for 32 bunk beds. Currently (September 2023) it remains closed and waiting to carry out renovations in the facilities, which had been very deteriorated due to lack of maintenance.

Surrounded by a rural and mountainous environment, the area offers large controlled camping areas, basic services and a calm environment. The shelter is equipped with restrooms and a fireplace to shelter you in inclement weather. Request authorization from the Territorial Delegation for Sustainable Development in Granada if you want to camp in this place.

This point is the one to take to reach this refuge. It is a perfect place to spend the night and enjoy the mountains. It is well located and great views. It is noted that it is not very crowded during the winter.

This controlled camping area is located in the municipality of Charches. It has picnic areas, sinks and a fountain. The interior of the shelter is aimed at providing shelter in case of inclement weather; It has a couple of bathrooms and a fireplace. To camp, it is necessary to request an authorization from the Territorial Delegation of Sustainable Development of Granada.

There is running water, which although labelled non potable I found quite good. You might want to filter to be safe. There are benches and fireplaces, although fires aren't allowed July to December. Camping is not allowed, and when I passed by in October the refugio was locked.

The path descends to the forest track that leaves the Cortijo Narváez and climbs towards the Mina pass and the Prados del Rey. In the hills on the left are the facilities of the Canaleja Alta recreational area, between the springs that sprout from inside the Calar de Santa Bárbara, about 700 meters below the summit of the mountain and one of the few natural springs of the massif. The place is an oasis of freshness in the calcareous nature of the mountains of the Sierra de Baza. Rainwater and meltwater seeps through the interior of the terrain and comes out several hundred meters below. In any case, you have to fill the canteens well because there is no drinking water for many kilometers. At the curve of the Canaleja ravine, where the vehicle entrance to the recreational area is, the GR-7 detour appears to the right of the forest track, marked with the red and white colors of the popular long-distance path and a sign towards Prados del Rey.
