The Ruta del Gollizno plunges you into a vibrant Andalusian landscape, where the Velillos River has carved the dramatic Tajos de la Hoz gorge. You'll walk between imposing rock walls, cross a suspension bridge, and venture into olive groves and pine forests, with the silhouette of Castillo de Moclín dominating the horizon. It's an experience that combines the adventure of boardwalks with the serenity of nature, perfect for disconnecting.
This moderately difficult hiking trail is 9.5 kilometers long with an elevation gain of 414 meters, taking approximately 3 hours and 4 minutes to complete. It's a well-marked circular route, though some sections have loose and rocky terrain, requiring good footwear. You can do it any time of year, but in summer it's advisable to start early to avoid the heat, and in winter or spring, the views of snow-capped Sierra Nevada are spectacular.
Beyond its natural beauty, the Ruta del Gollizno is a journey through time. Part of the trail follows the historic Camino Mozárabe de Santiago, and near Fuente Corcuela, you can discover Neolithic cave paintings. Furthermore, the imposing Castillo de Moclín, a Nazarí fortress, will remind you of the region's rich history, adding a cultural layer to your outdoor adventure.
