몬테하크 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Benaoján has a pretty old town with winding alleys, small shops, and a few tapas bars. In February, colorful carnival events take place in Benaoján.

We walked this in June 2025. Very nice walk. You come across a number of gates. You can just open these and continue following the route. We each had 2 liters of water and three sandwiches with us. You really need this because of the heat. There is currently a part that is not pleasant to walk. The farmer has plowed his entire olive grove here. So without GPS the route is not possible. It took us four hours now. You do need to be in reasonable shape. But super satisfied. Ended in Montignac with a terrace.

The path to the dam is well secured, but not entirely suitable for people with a fear of heights. On the valley side of the dam there is a spectacular suspension bridge, a zip line and climbing routes. These can only be accessed with equipment. It was exciting to watch the climbers.

This cave is very impressive, just because of its size. It is the northern entrance to the Hundidiero-Gato cave system. With the appropriate equipment and after obtaining a permit, it is possible to cross the cave system from here to the Cueva del Gato.

The abandoned reservoir of Montejaque ("Presa de Montejaque"), also known as "Presa de los Caballeros" or "Presa del Hundidero", was completed in 1924 after only nine months of construction and was the largest arched dam in Spain with a height of 74 meters, a milestone of its time. However, this dam was never fully functional because the impounded water disappeared by seepage in a few hours due to the permeable soil of the reservoir. In the years following its inauguration, attempts were made to solve the problem, but without success, so the reservoir was eventually abandoned. Today there are hiking trails here and, since 2024, also a via ferrata (K1/K2).

Beautiful view of olive trees and the small village of Benaojan on the Ronda long-distance hiking trail

Steep climb, partly switchbacks. But the climb to the magnificent plateau is worth it.
