바이야르칼 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Demanding route but spectacular cliffs

The Puerto de la Ragua marks the border between the provinces of Granada and Almería. The Sierra Nevada stretches on both sides, with the 3000m peaks on the Granada side. The highest mountain in the province of Almería, El Chullo, is, however, easily accessible from the Puerto de la Ragua. The Puerto de la Ragua is just over 2000m.

nice route

This car park, rest area and starting point for walks is located at an altitude of 2000 metres.

One of the few asphalt passes over 2,000m in the region. You just have to take it with you, even if it's not particularly "exciting" IMHO.

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.

With an altitude of 1,258 meters above sea level, Bayárcal is the highest town in the province of Almería. Its beautiful traditional complex is located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada National Park.

The port of La Ragua is two thousand meters above sea level, a great height to start a race through the mountains of the Sierra Nevada National Park, going through peaks, forests and hills with magnificent views and paths ideal for trail running. In winter it is a Nordic ski resort. The port is on the border of the provinces of Granada and Almería and there are good trail routes on both sides. This time the route leaves the car park to the west in search of the Cuerda de los Morrones, on the Granada side. The path crosses the meadows of the port and continues along the path marked with the wooden milestones of the Sulayr GR-240 Trail. At the edge of the pine forest, the main path turns to the right and the long-distance path continues straight ahead along the slope of the Maja Caco ravine. The little sticks of the trail climb up the terraces of the pine trees and soon enter the territory of the Nevadan mid-mountains.
