DATA OF INTEREST
DESCRIPTION
This interesting route follows in part an old path opened in its day for the reforestation of Cerro Huenes. It runs mostly through the interior of the Sierra Nevada National Park, surrounding one of the most striking groups of mid-mountain peaks in the Sierra Nevada.
The fauna richness of Sierra Nevada has in this path a good example of its abundance and variety. Along the route, but especially as we descend through the Majadillas ravine and skirt the Pico de la Carne to reach the Huenes ravine, the possibility of encountering wildlife will be high.
The best times to visit it are spring and autumn, being able to find it partially covered in snow in winter. At some points along the route, the unevenness to be bridged is considerable, so extreme caution should be exercised.
