National Park of Cazorla, Segura and the Villas. Jaén trekking routes
Time: About eight hours. Very recommendable for two day march.
We´ll leave from Segura on the road border to the north, towards Río
Madera with mountain tracings. The lanscape is really spectacular with steeps
mountains and mountainrange, wild forest and pines. The most exhuberant zone in
the national park.
We follow our road leaving on the right a deflection towards the village of
Moralejo, we take the next crossroad can the right, leaving on the left the village
of Orcera and follow in course to Río Madera. After passing different
camping signs and following in course to Río Madera, we´ll find not
far from the crossroad 1 km. more or less a cort-rut of gravle, quite wide near a
fountain signed as the cort-rut of the fountain of the Tejo which will be our next
course to follow. The cort-rut is very wide with strong descents of course sand,
but the zone is really surprising and wild. Soon we can see the peak of the
Espino 1,722 m. high and following this wonderful cort-rut, we go by a forestal
house on the right with its access way and then another one on the left which
we don´t follow either. So we get to a beautiful landscape and begin a
descent.
Following along the cort-rut we see a great stone but we can pass it and
then a smaller way comes, quite closed and with pendent rising and very
different from the one that we had passed descending. This is the cort-rut
that we must take, it has the access to a very difficult zone of several
cort-ruts, much more difficult in winter with lots of mud.
Have situated we´ll arrive to a crossroad and we´ll take on
the left to go up a very inclined uphill, we´ll get to a fell and the
way opens in two news again, the one on the right drives to the hill, apporite
it we can see a rocky mountain and a crossing with a tree in the middle, painted
with orientation symbols.
From here we can see a very wide zone.
Arriving to this point we´ll turn on the left towards Peguera del
Madroño and we´ll start a great descend on a cort-rut which is
very bad at the beginning with big stones and very near to the precipice on its
right. While we go down, the way gets better and clear and soon we are going
to see many other ways going up which we must not take. So follow our way
going down because we go to the valley.
Sometimes the direction changes, at first we went to the north and now
and for long time we´ll keep the south course.
We must be ignorant to all cort-ruts on the right and on the
left to the different farmhouses and granges and soon we see
on the other side of the valley the wonderful village Peguera
del Madroño inimitable example of popular architecture
integrated in the lanscape, peace and harmony.
