This is a trail that links these two municipalities via the GR – 141 (stage 3). The route allows you to cross the ridge that separates the Genal Valley from the Guadiaro Valley. The route is quite demanding, especially from the time we cross the Veguetas stream to the Asalto del Cura.
The vegetation and landscapes that we can see are varied, as is appropriate for a transition route between two valleys.
At the beginning we will pass by small orchards that merge with the cork oak forest, always accompanied on our left by the Natural Sites of Sierra Crestellina and Los Reales de Sierra Bermeja. After passing the Veguetas stream we enter the Montes de Benarrabá, an impressive cork oak forest that mixes with oak trees and that will follow us in the toughest part of the route to the Asalto del Cura.
From this point and after crossing the road we enter among chestnut trees and, with the Guadiaro Valley in the background, we arrive at Gaucín through the place known as La Umbría.
