SIGNPOSTED TRAIL

EL PINARILLO-FUENTE DEL ESPARTO-RÍO CHÍLLAR

DATA OF INTEREST
DESCRIPTION

The path starts from the Fuente del Esparto located next to the old miners' houses. It runs along a forest track to the slope of the Galgos, where it descends to the Chíllar river.

Our path reaches the head of the Chillar river, which is deservedly well-known due to its spectacular appearance, marked by sizeable defiles and narrow gorges (called cahorros or cajorros). This is another of the permanent water rivers that are so common in these mountains, thanks to the natural underground reserve systems

We will see the strong peaks of the Sierra Almijara where they nest, as well as large birds of prey and many other visible birds without great difficulty.

The path shares its route with the GR-249.
