| Map for the route (ED50) | How to get there: Driving on the A-92
take the exit number 250 (Viznar). Continue less than 1 km towards
Viznar and turn left towards Alfacar. You reach a roundabout about 50
meters after the junction. Continue straight ahead for less than 1 km
and turn left uphill. After some 200 meters, by a fountain, turn right
to Avenida Murcia, which turns somewhat later into GR-3101. Follow the
signs for "Centro de Visitantes Puerto
Lobo" which guide you to the left after 1.2 km and to the right
less than 500 meters thereafter. You reach a parking place less than 50
meters before the tourist center. (Roadmap) Distance: 1h50min/5.7 km |
| Return from the parking place (1260 m) to the
signpost with the text "Area recreativa
La Alfaguara 5 km" (2min) (1265 m) and continue along the sand road
towards Alfaguara. Ignore all side roads, paths and waymarks until you
find a wooden pole with white arrows pointing to two directions, and a
path forking off left by the pole (32min) (1310 m). Take this path
that follows a gorge gently uphill.
When you reach the crest (53min) (1485 m) follow the sign "Peñon de Viznar" to the left. You see a cross on top of the cliff. From the top you enjoy nice views over the valley of Granada with a number of towns and villages (Alfacar, Pulianas, Huétor Santillán, Beas de Granada etc.). Return to the signs and continue downhill towards "Puerto Lobo". The path descends through a pine forest on a sand road by a recreation area (1h33min) (1200 m). Turn right, and a couple of meters further, turn left on an asphalt road. When the road bends sharp right, continue straight ahead upwards on a narrower asphalt road and turn left (1h40min). From now on, keep right and return to the parking place (1h48min). |
