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.
