Collado Zamora Refuge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

This is one of the many refuges located on the GR-247 that runs through the entire mountains of Cazorla, Segura and Las Villas.
It is in very good condition thanks to the care that all of us who pass through it take and clean it and leave it in good condition for use for the following temporary residents.

Picnic area at the source of the Guadalquivir River

Highlight • Rest Area

If we continue a few meters above the supposed source of the Guadalquivir River, we find a somewhat flatter area that contains a rest area with wooden benches, a small pond of water to which a very limited spring reaches.
In addition, the area has several containers to deposit the waste we generate after camping with friends or family.

Source of the Guadalquivir River

Highlight • River

It is really difficult to locate the source of the most important river in Andalusia and although the technicians have located it at this point, it is still surprising that it hardly has any water, as well as that it is exactly this precise place, because in the same way It could have been located in any other of the many tributaries with greater flow that pour their waters into the river bed, such as the Aguasmulas River or the Borosa River.
For whatever reason, this source is dry for much of the year, but nevertheless it has better access than other places, perhaps this is the explanation.
