| Take the ascending path that starts from the
parking place (915 m). You walk through a gate (4min) (930 m) and come
to a fork, where a white arrow guides you to the right (11min) (980 m).
Higher up you see Grazalema and Montecorto down in the valley behind
you. On the plain of Llano del Endrinal the path forks by a large
Grazalema sign (27min) (1110 m). Go right.
You continue gently downhill to a fork with three branches (33min)
(1070 m), where you take the outermost path to the right. The path goes
through a hole in a stone wall (35min) (1060 m) and curves left
following the wall on your left. At the next fork, after crossing a small
clearing
(39min) (1060 m) a
pile of stones guides you to the right. The path starts to ascend gently
towards the lowest point of a ridge in front of you. Keep right at the
forks. Again you go through a gate (50min) (1115 m).
On top of the ridge, at the Puerto de las Presillas (1h11min) (1245
m) you continue straight ahead without paying attention to an uphill
path that branches off left along the ridge. Surrounded by fine rock
formations the path winds its way through a grassy ground. You pass
ruins of a couple of ice storages and come to a junction (1h17min) (1255
m). Turn right following blue arrows pointing towards you and wooden poles.
You walk a couple of minutes more in the plain, before the path
starts to descend, first very gently, but then steeply in zigzag.
Further down you see the A-372 on the slopes of the Sierra
del Pinar and a beautiful valley on
your left. The stony path leads through a gate to the Puerto del Boyar
close to the A-372 (1h51min) (1105 m). Turn right on a wide path snaking
its way downhill. On your way you cross a number of pretty bridges and
pass nice picknick spots.
On your left rises the Sierra de las Cumbres. The path ends by the
Grazalema sign and the Guadalete river (2h16min) (940 m). Continue along
the A-372 to the right. You pass a lookout spot and come back to the
camping area (2h20min). |
