Trail Adelfal de Cuadros

Description

The natural adelfal of the Cuadros River is probably one of the largest in size and importance of the Iberian Peninsula. This plant has a beautiful flowering in spring and summer that colors the beautiful valley of the river Cuadros in pink, intertwined between cutting and vertical folds, with a rich geological diversity. The adelfas, plants that do not resist the frost, are located in the lower parts of the Sierra Magina Natural Park and in areas where there are nearby watercourses. Wept willows, fig trees, and other species of the banks are jalonar the path.

Located in the incomparable area of Cuadros near the town of Bedmar, this path offers the visitor a short but unforgettable tour. It will enter a river that cherishes one of the most important natural masses of thinning on the peninsula. During its passage, we will be able to observe the exuberance of the alderfal formations that develop exceptional tree ports. The sound of water will accompany us during our journey by relaxing our senses, and by surprise us in summer with a fresh and spectacular getaway.

Along the path and intermittently it is possible to have as a reference the tower of Cuadros, a milestone that recalls the past of these lands as the border of the kingdom of Granada.

Next to the path, next to the hermitage of the venerated Virgin of Cuadros we find the Cave of Water, a magical place for the summer, if we want to walk within the river and discover three caves by which the river runs forming spectacular formations as a result of the spread of the water over time.

It also links this path with the path of the Viñas, which brings us closer to the view of Torreón de Cuadros with unbeatable views over this unique valley.
