A beautiful route through the Sierra de Alhaurín, passing through forests with a great diversity of flora and fauna, we can observe birds and enjoy beautiful views from the top of the mountain

The first part of our walk is very easy and comfortable, mostly through a pine forest until we reach the Fuente del Acebuche. The fountain has water all year round and is a very popular place for different species of birds to drink. We start to climb up to the rockiest part, enjoying wonderful views. There is a short part at the top that is a little more difficult, but with time and attention it is no problem. We continue the path until we reach the highest part, El Puerto de las Encinas, 950 metres above sea level. We return by another path, a bit steep but not very difficult.
