サヤロンガの峠・トップ6

Beautiful viewpoint of the mountains

They should fix the road. It's a shame that the Andalusian government doesn't spend a single penny on the roads.

This hike is fun even for teenagers! A great canyon, with numerous small stream crossings, and stunning views. Shoes with treads are highly recommended, and keep in mind: there are two ascents and two descents: down into the canyon, up the mountain, back down into the canyon, and up to the village. Overall, a varied hike.

We really enjoyed the tour up the riverbed and back along the aqueduct. We did the tour on April 2, 2025. You can find the tour dates in my profile. Just enter SPAIN 🇪🇸 in the search bar.

mountain range in the hinterland of Frigiliana

The Sierra de Almijara is a mountain range in southern Spain that belongs to the Betic Cordillera. It is part of the mountain range that lies behind the Sun Coast, north of Vélez-Málaga and Nerja in Andalusia. The highest point is the Matalas Camas peak at 1791 m. Other peaks are the Pico del Cielo and the Cerro Cabeza del Caballo. Since 1999 it has been placed under special protection as part of the Sierras de Tejeda Almijara y Alhama National Park.

very original and wildly romantic nature reserve

We start the route to climb Lucero (1774 m) in Puerto Blanquillo, after traveling an unpaved road for 12 km. It is recommended to take a car with high suspension to avoid problems. In Puerto Blanquillo, there is no car park as such. We will simply leave the car parked on the side of the road and start the route from there. We will do the route in a circular way, making the descent through the Puerto del Daire. However, it is also possible to return by the same path that you ascended. The distance is the same.
