DATA OF INTEREST
DESCRIPTION

This trail combines nature and culture. A unique natural and cultural heritage that allows us to discover part of the park from Benaocaz to Ubrique, and the history of its settlement. A stone path along which men and ideas, armies, goods and ingenuity traveled and which linked the mountains with the coasts of Cadiz and Malaga.

From the Salto de la Mora, the Roman city of Ocuri looks out onto the path. Surrounded by a formidable wall and with important infrastructure works such as water tanks and pipes, remains of public baths (hot springs), houses, the forum and the columbarium.

The Roman road was the model of the road used by Rome for the structuring of its Empire, thus laying the foundations of the current communication networks. During the Nasrid era, the old road linked the populated centres of Ubrique Alto, Archite (which no longer exists) and Benaocaz.
