DATA OF INTEREST
DESCRIPTION
This beautiful trail runs through the public mountain that gives it its name, parallel to the gorge offers freshness and provides an unbeatable soundtrack to your hike.
For a good amount of its route, the trail coincides with the royal gorge from San Roque to Medina Sidonia. Here it's sometimes possible to encounter traffic leading up to a carpark reserved for people with disabilities, who can opt for an adapted version of the trail, travelling in a linear fashion over 600m.
Afterwards, the path moves into uneven terrain that will allow us to encounter the most distinctive plant formation of the Los Alcornocales Natural Park, the canutos. Within them, you'll see hazelnuts and rhododendrons, the latter here known as 'ojaranzo', one of the most emblematic shrubs in the park. The foliage is presented with an exuberant vegetation formed by alders, Valencian oaks loaded with moss and ferns offering a freshness you'll surely appreciate.
These mountains, although difficult to access, provided firewood for the manufacture of charcoal, as you'll see in the cutlass, compacted ground and hardly any vegetation, which you'll find on the way.
