Technical Description

We started the march up for about 350 meters, by a sidewalk between jars, until we reached a firewall by which we will ascend for 150 meters more. We will then arrive at the base of a canchal, where we will find a hollow forest, made up of oak trees, alcornoques, complaints and madroños growing between loose rocks. We'll soon be going out to an enembral installed on the quartates. A few meters from here we already arrived at the Sellator's Hill.

We will then move on a forest track for about two and a half kilometres. In the first part of this section we will go through a dense darkness of oaks and complaints. We can even see a melojo oak bosquet growing on the Sealing hill at a higher height than the complaints. Then we will pass through a gardener, a cork plantation and a pasture, before reaching the base of the point.

Finally the path ascends through a path, between jars and alcornoques, at the foot of the top of the Puntal of the Four terms. From this point the panorama is impressive: towards the South, beyond the pinars of Mount Selladores- Contadero are extended the mountains and dehesas of the Natural Park Sierra de Andújar. In the distance we can see the reservoir of the Jandula and even the Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Head. To the east is the town of Centenillo (Baños de la Encina) and La Carolina, and to the north, beyond the division of provinces, is Sierra Madrona.
