After winning over audiences during the pandemic with his viral series Diario de Confinamiento, Martín has developed his own distinctive style: warm, intelligent humour, full of keen observation, capable of turning the everyday into a funny, sharp reflection. With more than thirty years' experience and a regular contributor to the programme Todo Es Mentira (Cuatro), his stage presence combines sarcasm, warmth and gentle criticism that invites us to laugh at ourselves.

The programme kicks off on Sunday 1 March with the circular Barranco Morelguillos – Refugio Mojón Blanco route, a 14.3 km trail starting from the Fuente de las Pilas (Mancha Real), ideal for those seeking direct contact with nature.

Saturday 7 March will be a double day. On one hand, the circular route from the Mata Bejid Visitor Centre will take in the Cueva de la Solana, the castle and the village of Mata Bejid, finishing at the Peña del Águila. That same day, the GR-7 will link Jódar and Bedmar along a 9.5 km linear stretch. 

Activities continue on Saturday 14 March with the Ruta del Chantre y la Umbría, a 17.14 km route starting from Cabra del Santo Cristo, with free transport from several towns in the region. The following weekend, Sunday 15th, brings two options: the route to the source of the Gargantón River and the Cambil – Mata Bejid (K3) via ferrata, with morning and afternoon slots.

Adrenaline arrives on Saturday 21 March with the Al-Manzur via ferrata in Bedmar (K3/K4). On Sunday 22nd there will be two hiking routes: Cueva de la Graja – Cruz de la Atalaya, and a circular route to the Columpio Gigante de Torres, the latter with a free bus.

Night-time also takes centre stage: on Saturday 28 March with the Puerto de la Mata night trek, a challenge of almost 20 km under Mágina's starry sky.

April arrives in style. On Saturday 11th, mountain lovers can choose between climbing Pico Aznaitín or Miramundos, both highly challenging and with free transport from various towns. On Sunday 12th, the Piedra del Águila – Peralejo route offers a more accessible option, while the Cambil via ferrata opens up further slots.

Cycling takes over on Saturday 18 April with a 68 km circular route between Valdepeñas, Noalejo and Campillo de Arenas. On Sunday 19th, the Piedra del Palo route and a further round of the Cambil via ferrata complete the weekend. The month closes on Sunday 26th with the Río Cuadros – Las Viñas – Torreón route.

The final major event will be on Saturday 2 May, with the Valle del Almadén night trek, 19.7 km starting from Torres, with a free bus from Jaén, Mancha Real and Torres.

With options for every level and a unique natural setting, Sierra Mágina invites you to make the most of spring: walking, climbing, cycling and discovering corners that only reveal themselves to those bold enough to explore them.

In cities such as Jaén, Úbeda, Baeza and Andújar, the crosses have become established as a cultural and tourist attraction. Associations, brotherhoods and community groups compete to put on the most elaborate displays, dominated by geraniums, ivy-leaved geraniums and traditional decoration. In many cases, these spaces are accompanied by music, pop-up bars and side activities that keep the atmosphere lively throughout the day.
