The 4 Most Amazing Peaks in Sierra Magina

Together with the summit of Mágina, the Peña de Jaén is the two highest peaks in the province. The site itself is a natural paradise and is full of stories of shepherds who came with their flocks in search of pastures.

I loved it 😍🎈 "Where the earth touches the sky, there Mágina watches, eternal sentinel of the Holy Kingdom."

spectacular site, breathtaking views. The Peña de Jaén, Sentinel of the Lost Worlds The old shepherds of Sierra Mágina tell that, long before the Christian kings and the emirs of Granada dreamed of these lands, the Peña de Jaén was already a silent guardian between two worlds: that of man and that of the spirit. They say that, on full moon nights, the winds that lash its limestone walls are not mere breezes: they are the echoes of ancient invisible wars, where ghostly armies of Iberians and Romans crossed their weapons of light on the summit. That when the fog envelops the Peña, those who dare to walk its paths hear the gallop of invisible horses and fleetingly see broken flags waving in the void. For centuries, the Peña was a beacon for the border warriors: from its heights, Christian lookouts lit bonfires to warn of Moorish raids, and the Moors, in turn, used it as a last refuge when all was lost. It is said that whoever climbs the Peña alone on the coldest dawn of the year, and touches the oldest rock "a block detached near the summit", hears in their heart the cry of the old gods of the sierra, swearing to protect, as long as there are stars above Mágina, the secrets of a forgotten time. There, where the sky seems closer and the earth more eternal, the Peña de Jaén is not just stone: it is an oath, it is memory, it is a border between what was and what can still be.

Good views from the summit. There is no area to take shelter, so it must be taken into account in adverse weather conditions.

No one can imagine what is up there regarding the facilities that serve as a radio and television repeater. It is a true technical complex that until recently served as the residence of the workers who looked after and maintained the facilities. Today there is no one there. Cycling up to the top is rewarded with some of the most spectacular views that exist in Jaén
