Albuñuelas – Río Saleres

by
6 km   1 h 45 min   258 m   Easy   Easy   Easy    

   Downloads:     

A short walk that goes out along the GR-7 long-distance walking trail before returning on the other side of the Saleres river. Lovely views of the villages in the Lecrín valley, as well as to El Caballo in the Sierra Nevada.

Boca de la Pesca

by
8 km   2h 15min   404m   Medium   Easy   Medium    

   Downloads:     

The twin-peaked Boca de la Pesca (“the fish’s mouth”) is a tiny mountain in comparison with those around it, but from the top there are commanding views of the high peaks of the Sierra Nevada, Trevenque, the Dilar valley and the city of Granada down on the plain below. This walk is best in the late afternoon when the light is softer and you have more chance of some shade on the short but fairly steep climb.

Cahorros

by
8 km   2 h 30 mins   400 m   Medium   Medium   Medium    

   Downloads:     

With its wild flowers, fruit trees heavy with apricots, almonds, cherries, apples and pomegranates, a cascading river and lavender, thyme and rosemary, the lush Monachil valley is a beautiful area for walking. Kids will love the hanging bridges and the dramatic gorge, and this walk is particularly recommended when the flowers are out in spring and when the leaves turn gold in autumn.

Cahorros Panoramic

by
9.5 km   3 hours   530 m   Medium   Medium   Medium

This lesser-known route climbs above the Cahorros gorge. It’s a really enjoyable walk, which gives you panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including up to the high mountains, down into the dramatic gorge and across the surrounding plain.

Cañada Sereno

by
12 km   3 hours   358m   Easy   Easy   Easy    

   Downloads:     

Great family walk with a lovely meadow where you can stop for a picnic half way round. Stone benches with fantastic views mean that there are plenty of places where you can stop for breather. Refill your water bottles at the source of the River Darro, one of the two rivers that run through Granada.

Cerro de Maúllo

by
3.5 km   1 hour   161m   Easy   Easy   Easy    

   Downloads:     

For most of the Spanish Civil War, the front between the Republicans and Nationalists ran close to Granada, and so the hills are dotted with the ruins of fortifications and trenches. This short walk takes you through pleasant wooded countryside to a relatively well-preserved Nationalist trench complex, from which there are also great views of the Sierra Nevada.

Cruz de Víznar

by
5.8 km   2 hours   345m   Medium   Easy   Easy    

   Downloads:     

The Cruz de Viznar (“Viznar Cross”) is planted on a small but prominent hill, just far enough away from the Sierra Nevada to give you amazing views of the whole mountain range. The climb up is steady rather than steep, and the effort it takes to get to the top is richly rewarded. Makes a lovely evening walk, when the soft light brings out the subtle colours of the surrounding mountains.

Cueva del Agua

by
8 km   2 hours   340m   Easy   Easy   Easy    

   Downloads:     

A straightforward and pleasant walk in the pine forests of the Sierra de Huétor, with some fantastic views of the whole of the Sierra Nevada, which are particularly spectacular with winter snow cover. This walk could be combined with the Cruz de Víznar walk to make a longer circuit.

Dúdar loop

by
12 km   3 hours   514 m   Medium   Easy   Medium    

   Downloads:     

After a steep climb up from the village of Dúdar, you join the path from Granada to Beas, which provides fantastic views of the high mountains. After skirting past Beas, there is a fairly easy descent back down to Dúdar. If you set out early, you can have lunch in Dúdar after finishing your walk.  … Read more
