Beautiful route through the Sierrezuela

One of the buildings - witnesses of the old mining exploitation of the XIX century. It belonged to the Spanish-German company Sociedad Especial Minera Santa Bárbara. Although it is abandoned and it is not possible to enter, this place has become an obligatory route due to its great scenic beauty. These mines were closed in 1914 due to World War I, they reopened in 1922 to close permanently in 1924.

Artafi Pass - Trassierra

Highlight • Trail

This route is very popular in the summer because its numerous shadows make it possible to train in the hot afternoons of southern Spain, as the thermometers touch the 40º C temperature.
Beautiful route in ascending terrain with breaks to take air, in the village of Trassierra there is a fountain and bars where you can have something fresh.
