Carretera de la Cabra: Barranco de la Burra

This varied hike takes us through the mountainous landscape along the Carretera de la Cabra, in the hinterland of the Costa Tropical. We explore a rugged natural setting with rocky hillsides, Mediterranean vegetation and wide-ranging views across the surrounding mountains. Along the way, we pass Restaurante La Muga, a familiar landmark in this remote area.

The route continues past the Barranco de la Burra and a former military camp. We then head towards Puerto de Jayena, a mountain pass surrounded by the impressive scenery of the nearby ranges. Following the Vereda de la Azuzadilla, we take old paths through the mountains, where open slopes and more sheltered sections provide constantly changing views.

This hike reveals a lesser-known part of inland Andalusia, combining rugged nature, old trails and interesting landmarks along the way. A rewarding outing for anyone who enjoys exploring the mountains and discovering the varied landscapes around the Carretera de la Cabra.
