Itinerary description
This is one of my favourite hikes in the natural park that sits just behind the world famous, Camino del Rey, the Paraje Natural Desfiladero de los Gaitanes.
This walk covers all the main peaks and the park’s most emblematic areas.
This is a circular route that crosses the Sierra de Huma. It starts just outside of the village of El Chorro, you then walk up the Escalera Arabe (the Arabic staircase), across to the Tajo del Estudiante, up to the Pico de la Huma, the area's highest peak at 1.191m and back down via the Valle de Abdalajis and onto El Chorro.
