Each day, pilots will take off from Siete Pilillas to tackle routes that can exceed 150 kilometres, guided solely by thermal currents and winds. Their unpredictable and fascinating flight paths may take them over Granada, Córdoba, Albacete or even El Yelmo.

But the Superfinal isn't experienced only in the air. Pegalajar has prepared a programme that turns the competition into a true celebration of the local area: hot-air balloon rides, a display by the Air Force parachute display team, the presence of the Civil Guard's rescue helicopter, gastronomic events with Michelin-starred Jaén chefs Juan José Mesa and Javier Jurado, and cultural activities such as flamenco gatherings. Together, all of this creates an atmosphere that blends sport, identity and hospitality.

The route, starting in Noalejo, will once again offer a technical, demanding course that will test the skill of participants across the various categories. The organisers expect strong participation, in line with previous editions, as well as a large turnout of spectators.

For three days, residents and visitors will be able to enjoy theatrical scenes, parades, period atmosphere and educational activities recreating life at the time the town was founded. The involvement of local associations, cultural groups and community volunteers turns this re-enactment into a shared project, open to the whole population.

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.
