A beautiful hike a nd an unforgettable night under the stars and the full moon\nIf the giant cork oaks that hide the abandoned village of La Sauceda under their shadow could speak\, their sad stories would be a very great contrast to the uni que beauty of the surroundings. The village was bombed in the civil war an d almost completely destroyed. The ruins of hundreds of houses and their c hurch are still there\, partly restored and adapted for rural tourism. Nat ure has taken over the place and what remains of the village could be the backdrop for a film called 'The Enchanted Forest'.\nFrom La Sauceda we hik e to the highest peak of the natural park 'El Aljibe' with a breathtaking view and an anthropomorphic grave with an not very believable legend...\nW e return on another path that leads us past a small lagoon in the forest\, the 'Laguna del Moral'.\nStaying overnight\nIn this special occasion we s pend a night in the village. Some of the houses have been restored\, very simple and basic\, but new\, clean mattresses\, you have to bring your own sheets and food. \; From the car to the village it's only about 30 mi nutes. On the morning of our arrival\, we take our stuff up to the houses and continue only with our day back-pack to the top. Everyone brings some food to share with the others. \;\n\nImportant: This is not a party\, we go there to enjoy nature and the sounds of the forest.\n \;\nDiffic ulty \;\n \; medium/high\; \; \;6 hours\, 14\,5 km \; \nElevations \;\n \;↑↓696m\n\nPlease bring\nMountain boots\, sun a nd rain protection\, sleeping bag and a torch\, food and and enough water. \nFood: You will need your food for the hike\, something for the evening t o share with the others\, we will agree what everyone brings closer to the date\, breakfast and a snack for the following day\, we can stop for tapa s on the way back. \;\nPick-up\nMarbella: 09:00Estepona 09:30\nEstimat ed return on the next day\n17:00\n\nPrice: get a quote for your group\njoh anna@sur-walks.com\n\nIncludes\nHiking guide\, Accommodation\, insurance a nd transportation to the starting point and back\nNot included\nFood and d rinks\nReservation required\n DTSTART:20000101T000000Z DTEND:20000101T000000Z GEO:00;0 LOCATION: ORGANIZER: SEQUENCE:1 SUMMARY:La Sauceda - a night in the deep forest TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://www.sur-walks.com/hiking-holidays/358-la-sauceda-cork-forest-mo on END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
