Nigüelas: El Pinillo, Falla de Nigüelas

This hike starts in Nigüelas, a picturesque village in the Lecrín Valley. From the village, we head into the mountains along a route reminiscent of the Caminito del Rey in Málaga, with steep cliffs and stunning views of the surrounding landscapes. The path winds through forests, olive and almond trees, offering a mix of shade and open viewpoints.

After the initial ascent, we follow the river along small bridges, gradually making our way deeper into the mountains. The route includes some challenging climbs that require careful footing, but the views and natural beauty make it well worth the effort. Along the way, the scenery changes constantly, from lush vegetation to rocky outcrops and valleys.

The hike returns to Nigüelas via the Acequias, completing a circular route that combines adventure, nature, and beautiful vistas. This is a rewarding hike for those comfortable with moderate climbs and mountain terrain.
