ラス・アルプハラスの天然記念物・トップ20

このハイキングは本当に大変です： -マーキングが非常に悪い -komootのナビゲーションが不正確 -長く、一定の上り坂、560メートルの標高差 -登りでは、一部砂利道を登る必要があり、私にとっては四つん這いになるほどでした -下りは、狭い渓谷沿いの道を、緩んだスレートの上を砂利道で長く続きます -私たちは8時間かかりました（道に迷って引き返し、正しい道を見つける必要がありました） -ヒント：石積みの目印を探してください。時々、これで方向を確認できます

Experiences from November 2025: Access to the river from both sides is blocked and clearly marked with prohibition signs! At the marked location, there is a narrow bridge without railings. There is no sign of the waterfall or the attractive wooden bridge with railings shown in the photos by "expert" Oliver! The circular routes indicated under this trail are therefore completely unusable if you adhere to the prohibitions and barriers! We had to turn back and, unfortunately, retrace our steps. Very frustrating!

No problem at all with the north way, really nice landscape; 1h30 in running

The final climb to the Siete Lagunas, next to the Chorreros Negras waterfalls, is quite challenging; Komoot said it had a 35% gradient. But it was a fantastic experience! At the end of May, there were still some remnants of snow, and the stream below was carrying plenty of water – so we forded the trail twice and had wet feet – but with temperatures approaching 20 degrees Celsius and sunshine, it quickly dried out again 😀.

The descent via the northern slope is only recommended to a limited extent. Due to a landslide/rockslide, the path has completely disappeared in places and you have to find your way through the terrain without a path for about 1km.

The Tajo de Cortés Waterfall is an impressive waterfall located in the Alpujarra Granadina, near the towns of Pitres and Pórtugos in Andalusia. Two routes that will take you to this beautiful waterfall: Sendero PR-A 29 from Pórtugos or the somewhat shorter Circular Route from Pitres.

The trail is pretty easy to find until you get to the waterfalls. To reach Laguna Hondera you must climb up beside the first waterfall. That is between the two waterfalls. There are cairns on the path but it’s quite easy to miss them amongst the other routes up there. It’s a beautiful location. We saw a few ibex but only 2 other hikers!

The area of the Seven Lagoons (and Laguna Hondera in particular) is one of the most beautiful places in the Sierra Nevada National Park. The climb up here next to the waterfall formed by the Chorreras Negras is demanding, but all the pain in your legs is forgotten as soon as you reach the top and see the beauty of the place. Important note: if you plan to spend the night here, do not pitch your tent in the borreguiles (the grasslands). They are home to several species of flora endemic to the Sierra Nevada and it is necessary to protect them.
