쉬운 시에라 데 카브레라-베다르 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

There is a separate area reserved for dogs.

Just a half-hour drive from Mojácar, you can visit the Torre del Pirulico. This tower once served as a lookout post, allowing for a clear view of enemy attacks from the sea. Today, you can climb the tower for free. From the top, you'll enjoy the most beautiful views of the Mediterranean Sea.

Curious rock formation near the slope of the strait.

Is it on the site as easy? The right way is easy as long as you walk next to the river. As soon as you go up, the path is difficult to find. Suddenly you are at a precipice and no path to be seen? Descend at your own risk? Distance 5km is also not correct.

very nice - not demanding route

The hiking route to Torre del Pirulico from Macenas Castle is short and easy, ideal for children. This route offers an excellent opportunity to explore the history and natural beauty of the area.

The Torre del Pirulico, also known as the Torre Horadada or Torre del Peñón, is an ancient coastal watchtower located in Mojácar. This tower was built between the 12th and 14th centuries during the Nasrid period and was used to warn the population of threats from the sea, especially pirate attacks. The tower has a truncated cone shape and stands 10 meters high. At its base, there is an arch that allows one to pass through it, giving it its name Torre Horadada. Entrance is through a door located approximately 7 meters high, accessible via a fixed metal staircase. From the tower's roof, one can enjoy stunning views of the sea and the surrounding landscape.

We tried the same hike. We started the loop in the opposite direction. The paths are barely recognizable, very steep and in some places they go over a gorge ridge: 30 cm wide. Very dangerous in windy conditions! The gradients are sometimes 30%, parts of the path are clayey. Very slippery and dangerous in rainy weather. You need very good shoes and hiking poles to hold on to. If you follow the Komoot instructions, you end up in the gorge. The path that Komoot shows often doesn't exist. The difficulty level of the path is high. Duration > 3 hours.
