20의 시에라스 데 카졸라, 세구라 와이 라스 빌라스가지 명소 & 주요 장소

Beautiful trail in a narrow canyon formed by the river.

It is really difficult to locate the source of the most important river in Andalusia and although the technicians have located it at this point, it is still surprising that it hardly has any water, as well as that it is exactly this precise place, because in the same way It could have been located in any other of the many tributaries with greater flow that pour their waters into the river bed, such as the Aguasmulas River or the Borosa River. For whatever reason, this source is dry for much of the year, but nevertheless it has better access than other places, perhaps this is the explanation.

A hike worth the detour

The route to the Malena Waterfall begins in Cazorla and is ideal for the whole family. It is a circular route that follows the Cerezuelo River. Along the way, you will enter a narrow gorge, crossing wooden bridges and enjoying the rich riverside vegetation. The first section of the trail will take you to the Malena waterfall itself. Near the waterfall is the Cueva de la Malena, which, according to the elders, was a refuge for bandits during the time of the reconquest. The cave is also shrouded in legends, such as that of the Tragantía, whose song warned: “I am the tragantía, daughter of the Moorish king; "Whoever hears me sing will not see the light of day." Since then, the cave has remained virtually inaccessible due to undergrowth that makes access difficult.

The trail to Salto de los Órganos starts from the power station and is probably one of the most spectacular and challenging sections. After overcoming some steep slopes, to the left, from the Picón del Haza, a waterfall with a drop of more than 170 meters unfolds. The force of this waterfall is used by the hydroelectric plant.

A beautiful little refugio perched on top of a hill, exclusive to hikers and cyclists. Pump for water that was working in October 2023. Be aware that you might not be alone - we slept with 8(!) other hikers inside.

At 1710 meters, this refugio (shelter) stands at a lonely height in a beautiful spot in the Sierra. Inside the refugio is neatly maintained with bunk beds and outside you really imagine yourself in Spanish Lapland. A top place to stay overnight!

This stretch of path is difficult to cycle because it runs through areas of hard rock and is designed for walking, but in any case it is worth seeing and enjoying.
