To arrive there is only to follow the signs to the Natural Monument of the Quejigo del Master from Valdepeñas de Jaén, just 1 '5 km from a lane that descends to the right, continuing just over 2 km we arrive to an old ruined cortijo in the middle of a wide explanade.

The horizon is wide, although it is true that the mountains cut the celestial vault a little. We are facing a top-class place for those most demanding fans.
This observation point is located more than 1,100 meters in height and in the bottom of the valley with outstanding conditions of seeing and darkness.

The point we propose in the old rear explanade of the old cortijo of Maria Luisa, right on the border between the provinces of Córdoba and Jaén, in the municipal term of Martos. It is easily accessed from the marteña pedanía of Monte Lopez-Alvarez in the direction of Albendín, a few meters from the province limit a detour to the left in the direction of Alcaudete. At this point is already visible the large line of cereal with the old cortijo preceded by a row of trees that is just the way of access.

In the back we find a large place to leave the vehicles and set up to enjoy the night show.

Two are the points from which you get a good view of the Chorro:

• In front of the forest house comes a path that takes you to a lookout with a stone wall from which to serene observe the show that opens before your eyes. The white spots that are seen on the walls of this mole accuse the presence of vultures' nests, for they are only the stained of their excrements by being dragged through the waters.

• Following the track that has brought us to the Chorro and a few meters away you have to go down a path that comes to the right to the very abyss through a cast of sharp stones. You're on top of an impressive rosejo of vertical walls. With great caution you can look and get over the heights, views and flight of the many birds that live or go by in their constant search for food.

We suggest...

• Take binoculars to see the caves where the birds nest.

• Make use of the wooden observatory from where you will pass unnoticed for the birds that will fly and pose around you without complexes. At the entrance there is an information panel with the most common birds in the area. A good time to learn to identify them.

In the Iruela, from the City Hall square, the road rises towards the Riogazas hotel. It is known as the Chorro road. 12 km from the Iruela is the Chorro forest house on the left bank of the forest track.

Once we get to Central, we're already in the middle of the cornicabral. A mile earlier, from the Nidillo Strike, we will be accompanied by the cornicabra to our right on a very stony and pending slope. At the end of the route, in front of the bridge that crosses the Borosa River to access the central one, on the hillside that extends to our left after crossing the bridge, we will observe large trees, which look like oak trees, but if you look at us it will surprise us that they are large cornicabra. In the fall we are presented with a multitude of warm colors ranging from orange to dark red.

The cornicabral that we see is associated with little vegetation in its lowland, this is because the presence of cattle (wild or domestic ungulates) benefits the cornicabra, its outbreaks and spills of seed are very toxic and not appetizing to the cattle, so it is not easy to see other species accompanying the cornicabral, and more in areas frequented by the cattle. However, they are usually seen in oak (Quercus ilex ballota), arces de Montpelier (Acer mosnpessulanum), agracejos (Phillyrea latifolia), sabinas (Juniperus phoenicea), lentisco (Pistacia lenticus), rosemos (Rosmarinus officinalis), torvizcos (Daphne gnidium), esamujos (Rosa ssp.) and among herbaceas we highlight the peony or rose of mountain (Paeonia broteroi), as well as in the gradivos (Rachos), as in the gradivázos, as in the gradivánas in the gracos (Rachos, as in the gradius, as in the gradivás, as in the gradivázos, as in the gracos (Rachos), as in the gradius, as in the gradivávás, as in the gradius in the gracas in the gracos, as in the (Poa bulbosa, Agrostis ssp., Cynosurus echinatus, Aegilops geniculata, Arrhenatherum elatinus, etc.).

The name of the cornicabra is due to the protuberances in the form of goat horn so characteristic in leaves and stems, which are gills produced by the bite of an insect, which uses them as food for its larvae.

We suggest:

• The cornicabral are present in others in many mountains and more or less stony slopes of the Park, as in this type of environment it is where the cornicabra (Pistacia terebinthus) finds its habitat. Extensive cornicabral can be seen on the slopes of the Zumeta River, near the Ticiano Sale, in the gutters of Peña Corba (Las Villas), on the slopes of the Yelmo Chico, in the Cerrada del Utrero, etc.

Route of the Borosa, from the place known as La Central. To reach the cornicabral we must remount the Borosa River along the track that passes to its vera, and that ends up in a hydroelectric power plant. We take it on the farm of Borosa, a well-known place. We have 8 km ahead of us, but they don't have much slope and can be done easily, and we go all the way through the Borosa River, which is one of the most spectacular and popular routes of the Park.

This convent is very linked to Our Lady of Hope, as we can see below. Often, when we hear about Our Lady of Hope, we automatically associate her with Seville and her Holy Week. However, one thing that many people are not aware of is that its origin is located in the province of Jaén, specifically in the region of Sierra Magina, according to some studies and the finding of a document, image of the left, of great importance on this subject. With the transcription that is presented we intend to see how in the toponymy of the convent of Cazalla a reference to the Virgin Macarena appears, in the year 1749, coinciding with the epoch of the highest splendor of the Order of the Basilios, as well as the Cadastre of the Marquis of the Ensenada. This report, which refers to a guide to the transport of cattle, is the only document found in the municipal archive, so far, where it is confirmed something that supports previous studies, such as that published by Rafael Ortega and Sagrista, "The Monastery of Our Lady of Hope, in the cazalla, belonging to the order of San Basilio Magno," where the origin of such a Marian advocation, the famous Virgin Esperanza Macarena of Seville, is determined in these places. What seems to be fully observed is that the diffuse center of the Basil monks in Andalusia comes from the region of Sierra Mágina, in particular Mata-Begid and the said Cazalla Convent, as Vicente Oya shows, to see the website www.camorl.iesata.es, or the book by Hilario Arenas González "La Macarena de Sevilla."
With this small review, we are only trying to make known an interesting line of research that we are now in the process of developing.

The access road runs through a relatively easy forest track; this track is taken from the same town of Marmolejo, after crossing the bridge over the Guadalquivir River at the height of the spa.

Right on the north bank of the river a right turn is taken towards the Aliseda, follow those signs and this way for 12.5 km until you reach the closed control door. There you can leave the vehicle and put things on the other side by entering the pedestrian door.

This point is especially suitable for those fans with telescopes and their own means in search of an outstanding sky and with light-taking to connect their equipment.
