Hiking - Torrecilla Ascent - 16km - Challenging Level
Duration
5 hours
Overview
-
The mountain of Torrecilla is located at the heart of the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park and is the highest peak in Western Andalucia at 1,919m above sea level. This is a challenging hike but the views are amazing and you will feel like you are on top of the world.
We drive from Ronda into the Sierra de las Nieves, taking us far from civilisation and into this protected region of unspoiled and dramatic limestone mountains. We begin walking in the pine-forested lower levels of the mountains and head up steeply, through areas of stony scrubland, dotted with isolated holm oaks, catching glimpses of Torrecilla in the distance. After an easier, flatter section, the final ascent is a steep but relatively short climb. From the top we can see for miles in every direction - south to the Costa del Sol, the Rock of Gibraltar and over the Mediterranean Sea, inland to the Sierra Nevada and back "home" to the Serrania de Ronda.
