It begins in the recreational area of Cuadros, parallel to the Aldelfal de Cuadros trail, which allows us to enjoy beautiful views of the adelfal and its pink flowers in spring and summer. Little by little we will go up and get to know the main water births of Bedmar (Los Sistillos), always accompanied by the extraordinary views of this unique site.

In our ascent we will find the cornicabra abundantly. This plant acquires tones from yellow to red in the autumn, the best time to appreciate the beauty of these formations.

We will go up to privileged locations from which we will see wide panoramic views of the Sierra Magina Natural Park. A varied vegetation will be offered at our pace, both natural and cultivated. And we will also be able to know something about the history and heritage of these mountains.

If we turn a little bit, we can visit the view-conditioning at the Torreón de Cuadros. This watchtower looks at the steep valley of the Cuadros River and a beautiful landscape of gardens and crops. The contrast of this landscape well deserves that little effort as it deviates.

At 800 m from the start we left this main track, to take an unvisible road that goes out to the left and that goes up a small vaguade towards a chandelier made up of two rocks, where there is a chain that closes the passage to motor vehicles. This is the detour to the Garbanzal ravine. The road soon begins to descend by sticking to the vertical limestone walls that make up this whole mountain slope. The whole tour is spectacular, through the views on one side of these walls and on the other the plains full of olive trees from the lower part.

Soon, at 6.5 km. from the beginning, we have descended to cross the Garbanzal ravine. From here on the track starts to rise until we get to a track crossing. We must continue to the right and we will soon leave to our right the remains of the Garbanzal Forest House. Again a small descent to cross at 8.1 km. with the River Extremera, a small high mountain water course that descends from the ravine of the Arenales and the ravine itself. Before we cross the river, we will have to despise another lead that goes to the left.

From this moment on the rise begins again, performing several zig@-@ zags, until reaching the Collado de la Hoya de los Corzos. Here we will find another lead that starts to the left that we must also despise. We have a strong slope on both sides, but the track seems to hold on to this slope, the next almost three kilometres are continuous up and down, with always ascending tendency, to reach the Jaén Cave stream (12.2 km.). Before it we left to our right and just above us a vultures located on a marine sedimentary folding. In addition to a leonate vulture, they are very suitable for the observation of hawks and various species of eagles.

After the stream, we have a better position for the observation of these vultures, the rise becomes stronger and we reach, after a wide curve to the right, a small loin with no vegetation, from which there are large panoramic views of both the vultures and the enclave where we are. In the middle of that curve we will have to rule out a new downward track to our left. It is very abundant throughout this area the mist, parasiting the larix pine.

We continue the rise, from this clear promontory, and soon we pass through one of the most unique places of the entire tour. It is a small corner, in which there is a microclimate completely different from the rest of the slope, cooler, due basically to its altitude and orientation. We noticed a different thermal sensation and also botanical species that we had not observed in all the rise, as is the case with several tiles, some of them of considerable dimensions, as well as some example of maple.

At 15.5 km. We crossed a bridge over the Béjar River, leaving a containment dam to our right. The pineapple is twisted by introducing its roots into the rocks and soon, in just 800 m we reach a chain that cuts the traffic of motor vehicles. To our right, remains of the old forest house and to the front, the Zamora Collado. We are on a true natural balcony from which, on clear days, the massiums of Sierra Nevada and Sierra Magina are perfectly seen. It is an ideal route for the observation of fauna, especially gamo, muflon, montés goat and boar.

The return is done on the same one-way route.

4 km. from the exit, right next to the waterfall of the Escaleruela, we enter a wide land track that we will travel for 31 km, having various points of interest such as the views of the Castle of the Five Esquinas, or the monastery of Montesión, Sierra Magina and Quesada.

In the 12 km and after passing through the Forest House of the Chorro, we reach the paredones of the Chorro where we can see with a little luck the majestic flight of the leonado vulture in a magnificent existing vultures.

After and on the continuous rise and following the track we travel, the signs to the birth of the Guadalquivir, we will pass through Collado Zamora, a true natural balcony and Puerto Lorente the maximum height of our route where we can admire one of the longest complaints of the entire Park. From there, we will begin a long descent that will take us to the Cañada de las Fuentes and the Birth of Guadalquivir.

From the birth, and continuing downstream, we will go through very unique places from the landscape, botanical and geological point of view, special mention requires the "Pino Pepe," an exceptional example of larice pine on track, which suffered several years ago the attack of a visitor lacking in ethics who baptized it at the point of knife, as well as the botanical and geological formations around the Yellow Arroyo, the majesty of the Cortijo del Calerón or the Bridge of Herrerias (k35 from the route), according to the legend built in one night. Right there we'll leave the stretch of land to enter the asphalt road, the JF-7092. In just 3 km. of circular parallel to the river along its right bank and leaving behind the campsite Puente de las Herreerías and the village of Vadillo-Castril, we arrive to a new bridge over the Guadalquivir. There we find the small dam of the Cerrada de Utrero, there is a signposted path of circular layout that well deserves a brief letter on our route.

Then and continuing on the road JF-7091 we are heading towards the Empalme del Valle, crossing with the road A-319 that we will continue direction to Cazorla ascending through the Port of the Palomas, with its two viewpoints, and once crowned the same, sinuous descent to Burunchel and later bordering the Natural Park and at a less steep descent we will reach our starting point in La Iruela.

The path begins in the recreational area and camp of Gil-Cobos by the right margin of the stream of the Aguascebas, up the secondary forest track that exists there in a southeast direction. At 800 m from the beginning we find one of the most beautiful areas of this tour, the Cerrada de San Ginés, a vertical setting of rocky lanterns formed by the Lobo's Locks on the left, and the Escalera's boat on the right, which is surrounded by deciduous forests, pinars, and riparian and rupic communities.

At the end of it, where the stream is divided into two, the track is also divided and we will have to turn right according to the direction of the march, to continue a steep rise in its first meters; after a sharp curve we find a source of work with some stone tables, it is Fountain Colorá, at 2.1 km. From the beginning. 600 meters later we find on our left a shop, it is Majalserbal, which is raised on the beautiful and agribusiness boat Ignacio. The other boat, which falls from the ink to the beginning of the Cerrada de San Ginés, has the name "Lancha del Sordo."

After walking 4.4 km. We got to a collar. We are at the top of the Stairboat. The Poyo of the Robles is what is also called all this land. Large panorama of the lome of Ubeda with several well-visible villages and the massif of Sierra Magina. We are close to 1,600 m of altitude and vegetation is characteristic of the high mountain of the Park, piornal and other small-scale, arbustive and thorny plants, as well as herring, larice pines and some oaks.

This area will be the highest of our journey, as from here we begin to descend. The track tracks several curves with firm formed of loose stones and quite bumpy until it enters the flat lands of Jabalhora. A unique karctic landscape that will accompany us until the end of our journey. We found several streams on its highest side, such as Arroyo del Raso de la Escalera and Arroyo de la Fuente del Tejo, and in the km. 6.7 and also a jungle with water called the Fuentecilla of the Vultures.

Later, in the km. 8.2, we left a track to the left, which is directed to other cortijadas in the Avellano Canyon or Jabalhora cortijos also called. We will continue to the left to find in the km. 8.8 The cords of the Berraza, where there is a source. From this moment on the firm becomes more difficult and begins to turn right to leave Peña Corba to our left.

At 11.3 km. We got to the Pardal Cortijos. It is recommended to climb to the peak on foot, as with its 1.578 m., it offers a wide view of the area. The return will be on the same way out.

The route of this ascension begins at the Torredelcampo Station (km. 11,800 of the Via Verde del Oil), located at 620 meters altitude, and ascends to the summit of Mount Jabalcuz, at 1,614 meters. Its summit is a magnificent view of the landscape of the interior of Andalusia, from which you can perfectly observe the encounter of the Betic Cordilleras with the Depression of the Guadalquivir. From the urban centre, on an asphalt slope we go to Cerro Miguelico (km. 2,400), a promontory that hosts an interesting Iberian site (necropolis excavated in the rock), well known for being the place where the Hermitage of Santa Ana is located. In this place there is a road area, with a water supply. Continuing on the same road we passed by the bosquet of La Bañizuela, and later by an active quarry. In the km. 4,900 found the remains of another abandoned quarry. A kilometer later we arrived to a stone house surrounded by a bosquet of walnuts, which we will border on the right road. In the next detours we will always follow the front, along the main lane.

At point Kilometric 7,600, in a clear area, we find a road crossing, where we will always continue along the main lane (we will despise a right and two left). After this crossing we have in front of us a valley and the Devil's crest: the ascent begins in the mountain area. At the km point 9,600 we find the barrier that only limits the passage to motor vehicles. The pinar accompanies us to the Puerto del Aire (1.030 m.), at the point of 12 200 km from where for the first time we enjoy the landscapes of the eastern part of the province of Jaén (at the bottom of Sierra Magina Natural Park).

We only have to finish the promotion until the end of the lane (km. 16,400). A sidewalk, less than 100 meters, leads us to the summit, where the fire surveillance house is located as a perfect lookout. From this place the view in any direction is all an experience. From this summit you can see much of the province of Jaén, to its limits with Córdoba and Granada. We are on the edge of the high Andalusian mountain: be careful with the hydration and the coat!. To the north is the entire countryside (the route of the Green Way of Oil is almost entirely observed) and the Guadalquivir Valley, to Sierra Morena. To the south, with clear days, the Sierra Nevada summit line will be observed, including the highest summit of the Iberian Peninsula, the Mulhacén, with 3,481 m. To the east the horizon extends from the peaks of the Natural Park Sierras de Cazorla, Segura and the Villas to the roof of the province the Pico Magina (2,197 m.), in the natural park of the same name. The western panorama is reserved for the Sierra de la Grana and the Cordobese countryside. At this summit, the municipal terms of Jaén, Torredelcampo and the Villares converge, which are seen in the sight of birds during the ascent and from the summit.

The return can be made on the same way up, to Torredelfield, or to Jaén in the Air Port (down to the east) by a lane of similar characteristics. After 4,400 km. We find another barrier. 3,600 km more take us to the road C-3.221, which is accessed by the service road of the residential area of the old resort of Jabalcuz, is the one that leads us to Jaén. In front of this crossing is a rural accommodation with restaurant ("La Casa de Piedra"). From this point we pedaled 4,500 km. more to the city of Jaén. Either of the two descending routes is a reward for the effort made.

The rise to the Magina peak (2167 m.) will take you to the roof of the province of Jaén. This level assigns to the Natural Park of Sierra Magina the third altitude of Andalusia, after Sierra Nevada and the Sierra de Baza. The effort is demanding, but it has the reward to know a unique landscape. The Sierras de Cazorla, Segura and the Villas, Sierra Nevada, the Sierra Sur de Jaén, La Loma de Ubeda or the Valle del Guadalquivir are some of the panoramic views from the summit area.
The tour is divided into three sections: the forest area, altiplanicie livestock and high mountain section.
At the beginning of the path, in a curve there is a detour that goes to the Chaganton ravine, which we will not take. Our path is always ascending, on a wide and firm track of land. Zigzagando gains height for four kilometres, while passing through a dense repopulation pine. This first stage of approach begins to show us views, and takes us to the interior of Sierra Magina.

Once the first climb has been crowned, we will be flying along a mile and a half by the Barranco de las Salinas, which serves as a transition to the last stretch of ascension. This is an area of pastures in which we find a very diverse vegetation such as complaints, larice pines and juniper, natural representatives of this bioclimatic floor. The transition ends slightly above the Tincada de la Cruz, a very characteristic livestock construction.

A few hundred meters above the dye the track is over and the path begins, which ascends in the east direction, and is marked enough to follow it without difficulty. Only in conditions of strong snow can the path mark be lost. The Barranco de las Covatillas, the first stretch of the path, leads us to the Port of Bolos, which is located on the east side, towards the Barranco del Garganton and beyond the Valley of the Jandulilla. At this point the path turns left facing north towards the summit area.

From here on the path passes through a stony area, on limestone. The landscape leaves the pineapples behind, and it will be the rake savannas that accompany us to the summit. Only something above we find the fork towards the summit of Miramundos, to the right. We will continue on our path, to the left and gradually gain height. Then we lose height at the head of a ravine slightly cooler. From this point on we start the final stretch until the peak of the Magina peak. The road is adapted to the relief. First by a few rocky steps, to reach a circular rocky depression on the hillside (a dolin or limestone sink), where one of the restored snow wells is. The end is a stone's throw. The maximum level is a high surrounded by other immediate summits (Jails, Peña de Jaén, Miramundos...), so the summit is one more of a crest.

The return will always be in decline, on the same path of ascent, provided that we do not choose other alternatives of return or combination with different paths, only recommended for those who have the experience and information to connect them.

The tour is a permanent rise, not very pronounced, but long. This path will take us from the valley bottom to the Sierra Mágina Natural Park summit area, traditional summer grazing sites, high-rise local boarders or pastures. This is therefore a traditional livestock road, from the transsterminery - local movement of cattle from valley to mountain.
The recreational area of Cuadros is the starting point, the place where we can leave our vehicle. The track rises for several kilometres between the pine slopes. In this first stretch, to the right of the track, we will have the view of the deep valleys of mountain torrents that converge and collect all the waters of this sector of the massif. The valley of the river Cuadros, the ravine of Mosquito and Peru, interesting for its cornicabral, vegetation characteristic of this area.

The first stretch of the path ends in the Control of the Valley, building next to a control barrier that has an explanade where we can rest. Depending on the season here we will find water to refresh.
But the stop must be brief because we have not yet made a third of the climb route. On the right side of the road you will find a path, with stone reclining, a path restored years ago in a field of work. It is a shortcut, which we do not recommend for its inclination.

We still have to reach the Era del Curilla, right on the roof of the Barranco del Atanor's head at 1100 meters of altitude; a natural step that connects with the east side of the massif. The era that was located there used the currents between the two sides to feed the wheat by taking advantage of the permanent passage of air.
We are left with the longest stretch, just over eight kilometers still until the end of the climb. During this part of the journey the road is adapted to the slope of the Sierra de la Cruz, drawing the rails, which one behind the other allows us to gain height. The landscape changes to a mountain of salgarean pines, tall tree, combined with cornicabra and even nozzles. Let us not forget that we are on the northern side of Magina, something more humid than the rest of the Sierra. To the left of the road we will find different mortars, or high and isolated hills. On the right we enjoyed the impressive view from the top of the rails we saw at the beginning of the itinerary.

The road loses its inclination, and there is only a plain until the Caño del Aguadero. The tour is flanked by high pastures, traditionally frequented by sheep flocks. When you pass through the Hoya de la Laguna - to the left of the walk - a small dolina or depression in the rocky limestone background, you will be very close to your destination. The appearance of chopos announce the presence of water, of the jets of the spring of the Caño del Aguadero.

The tincture, the fountain and the vents are the end of the road. This place is a resting place in the middle of the massif, and is part of a royal canyon. The meadows, the constant presence of water, the bearing and the shadow of the chopos invite you to spend a good time of rest in this corner of the Andalusian mountain. Peña Grajera (2014 m.) crowns the landscape and reminds us of the high mountain conditions we are in.

The return will take the way up, which will take about three and a half hours or four. It would be possible to connect with other paths of different aspects. This option requires careful planning and experience in mountain orientation, in addition to many more hours to return to the villages around the massif.
