Itinerary description

Did this trip in our Jeep 4x4 during Spring 2015. After some heavy rain fall during the winter/spring, multiple big cliffs/rocks had fallen onto the track. Some needed to be moved, others we simply had to pass outside/inside on the very narrow mountain track :-O

Crossing rivers, waterfalls and spectacular views during the trip. You will also pass the "Castano Santo" tree. My suggestion: Do not attempt this route without 4x4 (reduction gear/diff. lock not needed).

    Paisajes idílicos de la Sierra de Las Nieves. La pista estaba muy castigada por las pasadas lluvias, pero nada que no se pudiese solucionar con un 4x4 alto y apartando alguna piedra manualmente del camino. Echar bañador, pues se puede dar uno un chapuzón en el río.
