Cónchar: Ruta de las fuentes y Atalaya de Cónchar, Valle de Lecrin

This varied hike starts in the white village of Cónchar, in the heart of the Valle de Lecrín, a region known for its citrus trees, natural springs and beautiful scenery. Soon we leave the village behind and walk through a changing landscape of valleys, pine forests and historic acequias that have carried water through these hills for centuries. Along the way, we are treated to wonderful views across the green valley and the surrounding mountains.

One of the highlights of the route is the Atalaya de Cónchar, at around 785 metres the highest point of the hike. From here, we enjoy stunning panoramas over much of the Valle de Lecrín and, on clear days, even towards the Sierra Nevada. The route also passes several historic fountains, including Fuente de la Rata, Fuente del Lino and Fuente de Palomares, which give this trail its name.

During the hike, we follow sections near the Río Dúrcal and pass several miradores overlooking ravines, streams and the surrounding countryside. The combination of water, history and Andalusian scenery gives this route a very special atmosphere. A beautiful hike full of nature, views and characteristic corners of the Valle de Lecrín.
