Alcalá de Guadaíra

Seville, beautiful and diverse

This is a long, demanding but very picturesque trail, where you can enjoy the Mediterranean wilderness with the added attraction of some abandoned mines.

This route starts at the small rock climbing facilities at the “El Peñón” camping, which takes its name from the Spanish name of the Rock of Algámitas and is located at kilometre 3.5 of the road from Algámitas to Pruna. There, next to the gate, stands the informative signal marking the start of the route.

The walk starts next to the La Roda de Andalucía municipal football ground. Leaving the football ground to the right, a compacted sandy path begins, along which, after just 300 m, you cross the bridge over the channelled Salinoso stream.

This trail is a clear example of the result of mining activity in the area. The walk starts at the end of Calle Levante in the town of Aznalcóllar, where you will see some repeater aerials and the first white and yellow waymarks that will accompany you along much of the route.

The trail runs along a path in the urban area of Alanís, which surrounds the Cerro del Cura (Priest's Hill), following a circular route. From the village, look for the beginning of the Guadalcanal road and follow it for 300 metres until you see the path on your right.
