a wonder to behold with the Sierra Nevada in the background

Very nice hike with a great panoramic view. Finally, a detour to the castle of La Calahorra, which is unfortunately only open on Wednesdays. Nevertheless, the beautiful view is worth it!

The trail follows the route of the GR-240, the long-distance trail named after Sulayr, the “mountain of the sun”, as the settlers who inhabited these magnificent mountains called it centuries ago. The name of the Lastonar pass describes the type of alpine pasture that usually covers these rough mountain terrains, accompanied by pilgrims, hawthorns and barberries. The GR-240 section is the most comfortable part to run, ideal for lovers of fast and easy tracks, without unevenness. The path passes by the cattle buildings of the Corral de Prado Largo and continues skirting the mountains along the edge of the pine forests. At Morrón del Tío Justo, the track turns to the left and descends from the mountains. The trail continues straight ahead through the Sulayr and returns to the technical and fun trail, passing through the bottom of a ravine and down to Refugio de las Chorreras, suitable for hikers and mountaineers. At the door of the refuge there are signs for the GR-240 and signs for the PR-A 333 path that goes down to the town of Aldeire. Las Chorreras is the lowest point of the trial, now it remains to go up to the Cabañuela pass through the pine forests of the mountains. The hardest slope is the forks of La Rinconada, then the path leaves the forest and ends the ascent on the slope of Morrón de la Cabañuela.

Mega beautiful view of the Sierra Nevada and a great short tour from the parking lot. Here in the video you can marvel at the whole tour in short: https://youtu.be/DxUrMbFJmow

Place where the Benéjar river is born, perfect for taking a break to enjoy the landscape and, in very hot seasons, take the opportunity to cool off.

From El Chullo, at 2612 meters above sea level, you have very good views of Sierra Nevada and Almería.

You will do much of the race along the river, crossing it on more than one occasion in different ways.

It is the highest peak in Almería. The views of Sierra Nevada and Almería from the top are beautiful and you can even see the Mulhacén peak.
