From the town of Marmolejo (Jaén), we take the road A-420 with direction to Cardeña (Córdoba), which goes to the spa of Marmolejo, next to the Guadalquivir River. In this place just after passing the Roman bridge we find a crossing, we must take to the right by the local race JV-5.001, for approximately 12 km (after walking the path La Centenera), we will take the detour to the left, by which the so-called Control of the Cabrera that gives access to the public mountain is accessed.

Breve descripción

This path begins in Cerro del Cabezo, being all its descending path.

The first stretch of this path runs along the margin of the stream of the Virgin between jars, acebuchs and some aromatic plants such as the cantbone and the rosemary. On the left of this descent, called Cuesta de los Caracolillos, there is a magnificent view of Cerro del Cabezo, on which stands the sanctuary of the Virgin of the Head and of all the southern hillside of this, known as the Solanas of the Virgin.

Around 1.7 km, you can reach the Old Way, from where you can see the Jandula River Valley as you pass through New Place. In addition, with a little luck, it can be seen, through the skies of the Sierra de Andújar Natural Park, the imperial eagle, the black vulture or the royal eagle, as on this area are often found.

From the viewpoint, the path goes on to have a more pronounced slope, and caution must be extreme. After the descent, the vegetation changes and there appears to the left a repopulation of pine piñonero, and on the right margin, to the front, a dehesa of burning. Through that dehesa we arrive to a Roman bridge that crosses the Jandula River, on whose shores there is a rich vegetation of strawberry, alyses and adelfas.

Important warning.As a preventive measure to prevent the contagion of the COVID19, this path must be crossed in the sense of ascending from the San Ginés Pubo Nuevo section, not allowing itself to be done in the direction of Pubo Nuevo to avoid crossing of trails at a short distance.

From Andújar we go up to the Sierra by the A-6177, to the visitor center Viñas de Peñallana, where we take the exit the Alcaparrosa JV-5011. In km 8 of that road we will find the indications that will lead us to San Ginés. Also, from Andújar by the road of the Chain.

Descripción larga

To take this path we will have to go to the northern part of the urban town of Andújar and from the cemetery take the Old Way or the San Amasio Way. The road is a track of land with good firm, up to the kilometer 1.9 where is the area known as Los Tubos, where the track is crossed by a huge tube of the Rumblar Canal.

In the area known as the "Tubos" is located the zero km of the route Camino Viejo - Cordel de los Molinos. From this point on the track through which we travel, it has worse firm, but it is passable by all-terrain vehicles for 900 meters more, until it reaches a rest area for the pilgrims and the sign of the beginning of the path. The starting signal is located next to a metal door that we will have to close to us to start the path on foot, on horse or by bicycle.

Breve descripción

The path runs along the Old Way to the Sanctuary, the route used by the rosemary to go from Andújar to The Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Head, for centuries. This rosemary is declared a party of national tourist interest.

We will enjoy beautiful panoramic views of the Sierra de Andújar Natural Park from the view of the Monument to the Pilgrim. A beautiful walk through a path full of history, culture and tradition in an incomparable framework.

The trail Los Cerrillos is part of the Old Way, used by the pilgrims to climb from Andújar to the Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Head. Part of the site known as Los Cerrillo and reaches the Hermitage of San Ginés, a traditional meeting point for pilgrims.

The path gently ascends from the countryside, crosses through areas of livestock pastures and goes into the Sierra, crossing mountains covered with oak trees, cantuesos and jaras. During the flowering season, in April and May, the landscape becomes especially attractive.

It is worth walking this path in order to see an interesting panorama of Andújar and the countryside of the Guadalquivir valley and to go through the intertwined paths excavated on the slate rocks by the continued passage of thousands of pilgrims: walkers, cyclists and riders

Descripción larga

The tour begins at point 0 of the road J-5010 to the Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Head and Puertollano. In the first three kilometers we move between the family gardens and the irrigations of the terraces of Guadalquivir to pass, at the point of kilometer 4,500, by olive land. From this point, coinciding with the state's stallion stop, the terrain becomes more serrano, first by shrubs and pasture dehesa, gradually passing to high density repopulation pines. At the kilometer point 12,300 we can visit the Visitor Center of the Natural Park Viñas de Peñallana, a place where magnificent recreational farms, known as "Viñas," are located. At the kilometer point 14,200 we take the right deviation on the JH-5002 road, which runs between more or less mixed pineas with lentils, coscojas and jars of great faunistic wealth and cynetic and livestock dedication. At this crossing there are two restaurants, last point for breakfast or a snack in two or three hours. The road has a regular state of conservation.

Around the 18th kilometer of the tour, the pineapple disappears, the landscape is dehesa of pastures with oak and cork trees, mainly, and panoramic views of the saw open on both sides. Towards kilometer 21 begins a magnificent adhesado encore in which the bulls of the Finca de los Escoriales, of the iron of D. Germán Gervás, founded in 1959, are pasted. In the km 24,100 we found the mines of Los Escoriales, which was already exploited by the Romans. At the kilometer 24,400 we are at a crossroads and a tentadero. The detour to the left will lead us to the Jandula Embalse. Following to the right we will pass through the Tapicas farms, the Farms of Flores- Albarrán, Navas of Benjamin Sordo or The Alarms of Samuel Flores, the latter since 1928, places where we can discover the bravo bull in its middle, the fences of protection and management, the places of food and abrevadero, along with some protected species or cynetics. From the kilometer point 32,800 you can see magnificent views that must not be lost: to the right, of the Sierra de Ambroz (761 m.), and to the left of the Embalse del Rumblar and the Castle of Burgalimar, in Baños de la Encina. From here on the road continues north, passing through the big house-cortijo of Los Alarcones. The landscape opens to the mountains of Ambroz and Los Calderones, at the northeastern end of the Natural Park of the Sierra de Andújar. At point kilometer 42, and coinciding with the beginning of the National Cote of Selladores- Contadero, we will see areas of small pinars that intermingle with the dehesa and the matorral; later the pinar spots are larger and dense although retaining some copies of alcornoque. The road improves and becomes descending, turning from the house of Selladores to the southeast. The landscape, leaving Selladores- Contadero, changes to a mountain of shrubs dominated by the lentisco jara and natural pastures; thus we arrive at Nava del Sach, in the kilometer 64, where there are catalogued rock paintings, to ascend from here to El Centenillo, a former mining village, in which environment we can see numerous scaffolding of the mines that operated until the 1950s, now converted into a residential core. In this small town we can make a recess to take an appetizer and taste the typical dishes of the place, including hunting meat stew and serrano products. We continue the last part of the route, already on a road of saw in perfect condition of conservation to La Carolina, distant about 16 km, descending from El Centenillo to the Rio Grande, where the pine definitely disappears to follow already on the ground of bushes and pastures and cross the river of the Campana.

This route connects us to the north-west of the park, where you will find the National Contradero-Sealing Party.

Descripción larga

La Lancha is a village that rose for the construction of the Jandula dam, started in 1927 and completed four years later. It was inhabited by about 3,000 people in the most active moments. It is about 30 kilometres from Andújar in an unpopulated territory where malaria was endemic at that time. There is only one unasphalted road that reaches the village, the JF-5004, which comes from Los Escoriales for a journey also offered as a path marked by the Natural Park.

Already in La Lancha we must continue on the same road down to the dam, where the path begins. If we have reached here by car, we will leave it in this place to take a look at the Jandula reservoir first from the dam itself, and then make the short path. It has been almost eighty years since this great artificial lake was created, where the waters of the Jandula River are reinstated along about twenty kilometres from its channel, flooding its enclosed valley. The reservoir has a capacity of 322 Hm3 with a water sheet of 1,231 hectares. A new piece introduced in the geography of the saw which, of course, has had an important impact on the landscape, ecology and local and regional economy.

The variety of the local fauna, which we can see with some ease, is a clear example of such an induced transformation. Cormorans, with their lustful black plumages and bronze, are already common and it is not rare to see ducks or garzas. In the water there are species such as black-bass, carp or barb, and also a fish that is only found in these waters and tributaries of the Jandula, called the bogardilla.

From the side of the dam to which we have reached, we will take the road that goes south on the left side of the river, a hundred meters above it. Its appearance gives us clues on the landscapes before the construction of the dam. As we move away from the dam we gain perspectives on it, and we better explain its consideration as a historical monument.

Two hundred metres from the beginning of the road we find a stretch enlarged by a excavation at the foot of the village, which is nothing other than the granite quarry that was opened and exploited only for the construction of the dam and other works related to it, case of the village. Part of the image of integration of this great wall into the landscape is due to its stone coating of the place itself. We can see around some block of granite that was left unused, and also some other witnesses of the agitated activity during the construction of the dam. A little later, the road is close at a point where we end our route.

Breve descripción

This is a brief tour along with the Jandula dam, also known as La Lancha, which in itself is a monumental construction of a high heritage and, of course, economic and social value. It is located in an agribusiness and historically depopulated area of the interior of Sierra Morena. To the value of the Mediterranean mountain that naturally dominates it, this great artificial lake adds diversity to the landscape. The path is a follow-up to another one with a greater path that reaches the dam from the Scoriales.

It is recommended to wear safe drinking water and clothing and adequate footwear. Take special care of possible falls. This path can be realized throughout the year. In summer, due to the special conditions of height, the insolation is very strong which, together with the lack of shadows, requires important solar protection.

- Granitic closed.
- Embalse of important dimensions with variable levels.
- The monumental Jandula dam, designed by the modernist architect Casto Fernández Shaw and associated village.
- granite quarry used for the construction of the dam and the village.

From Andújar you must take the road A-6177, north sense, to the sanctuary of the Virgin of the Head. After moving about 15 Km and passing the Park Visitors Center, you will turn right onto the JH-5002, towards the Jandula reservoir. We travel about 10 km to a crossing where we will have to turn left by the JF-5004. After another 10 Km we will reach the dam from where the path begins to our left

Descripción larga

At the beginning of the path you can access the road A-6178 that comes from the shrine of the Virgin of the Head, 19 kilometres from it. We will find the path signs at a road crossing with a track that leaves to the left towards Valdelagrana (see on the map) in a place known as Junquillo. We'll start the road along the track to a geodetic vertex that we'll see very close.

We will do all the way along this track, almost always flanked by fences of farms dedicated to livestock and hunting, and would support the cultivation of cereals. The vegetation varies between real oak forests and more or less dense adhesives. Many other plants of the Mediterranean mountain find here their space, such as the wild pyruetane or pear, of bright and expired leaves, from which we can see some specimens shortly after we start the road. We will also pass in the initial section under a high-voltage line that comes from Puertollano to the Guadalquivir valley to the south, direction in which we will observe the prominent Peñón de Rosalejo (805 m.).

We will leave the Las Losas cortijo to our right, surrounded by a more clear space. Half a kilometre later we will find the so-called moruno oven, a small stone building located between oak trees on the left side of the track.

In just over a kilometer we will reach a crossroads of roads and firewalls. We will have already observed the combination of both, that there are ways through which we have clear margins to serve at the same time as firewalls. This helps to prevent and extinguish fires, which pose a major threat, especially to low-mountain cynegetic farms, which host populations of boar, deer, gamo or muflon, but also to other more clarified spaces, such as dehesas, which have a predominantly livestock use. The high biodiversity of both types of mountains is protected by these infrastructure, and also by complementary ones, such as the rafts that abound in both types of farms.

Almost a kilometer later, we will find another crossing of roads this time belonging to surrounding farms. We will continue forward and a few meters later we will turn south, moving back to a more wooded area.

It is a good place to stop and look at the mountain chains that rise on the horizon in the northwest. About ten kilometres away we will see the Quintana saw, whose summits draw the border of the provinces of Jaén and Ciudad Real, and also of the Natural Park. In it we can distinguish the Burcio from the Pino (1,291 m), the highest peak of the Andalusian Sierra Morena. Further west is the Madrona saw, where the highest levels of all Sierra Morena are reached. Between the two saws is the main step to the famous valley of Alcudia, in which Fuenhot is located, a citizen population that we can see later. Already in the last stretch of the path we pass through a new crossing near a large cordial. A mile later the path ends in a suggestive dehesa next to a Canadian step.

Breve descripción

Here is a suggestive and easy road that travels a very representative space of Sierra Morena and this Natural Park. In it there are the dehesas on almost flat grounds and Mediterranean mountain stains, both populated by numerous animal species, including various birds, easily visible, or mammals, such as deer, boars, foxes or garduñas, difficult to see, but whose traces we will find with some ease. The Madrona and Quintana saws on the horizon, behind these plains, evoke the many legends that these depopulated lands have inspired throughout history.

It is recommended to wear safe drinking water and clothing and adequate footwear. Ensure the potability of the water from the sources. Be careful with the traffic. This path can be realized throughout the year. In summer, due to the special conditions of height, the insolation is very strong which, together with the lack of shadows, requires important solar protection. The months of October and November are especially recommended, coinciding with the deer's berrhea.

Descripción larga

If you come from Andújar on the road A-6177 towards the shrine of the Virgin of the Head, we will have to get to its vicinity, thus walking about 30 kilometers, to be located at the point of start of the path, located next to the road two hundred meters before the last crossing to the sanctuary.

We are at the foot of the hill of the Cabezo, the promontory where the sanctuary that we have in front of us is located, less than a kilometre away in a straight line and about 50 meters away. Surrounded by a forest of black pines, we take the way to the south-west, just up to a crossing - at about three hundred meters - where we have to turn 90 degrees to our right. We soon arrived at a cortijo called La Huerta de los Fráiles, a name that makes clear reference to its use by religious guardians of the sanctuary. We will round the building by recovering the south-west direction to keep it alone for two hundred meters, until we reach a crossing at which we will deviate by a track to the right.

We will pass under a high-voltage electric line and we will immediately cross the Membrellar stream, from where we can see panoramic views towards the valley of the Jandula River as it passes through the New Place, an emblematic public mountain for its great ecological and cynetic wealth. We gradually approach the slopes of the hill of the Cabezo and the urbanized space that occupy there various cofradies and facilities linked to the sanctuary and to the famous and multitudinary Romany that is celebrated on the last Sunday of April.

Moving in the same direction on foot of the hill, we will reach the asphalt road on which we start our way, to which we will join on our left to walk it just over 50 meters, always with due caution.

Thus we will reach the steep street of the Sanctuary, which goes up to it with a considerable slope of about three hundred meters. Above the hill ends the path, although here we are offered different offers, such as visiting the sanctuary and its surroundings, or approaching the lookout from where a wide view of Sierra Morena is covered.

Breve descripción

The proverbial depopulation of Sierra Morena, and the consequent preservation of its natural wealth, has here, in the Andújar saw, one of its clearest manifestations. In an agribusiness territory, 30 kilometres from Andújar, the sanctuary of the Virgin of the Head is raised, which finds its meaning in such a strange location. For centuries he has attracted a large number of pilgrims from remote places and year by year, he has concentrated crowds in one of the country's most popular romaneries. The path brings together in its brief journey nature and history, landscapes and tradition.

Descripción larga

Sierra Morena is a great natural space of internationally recognized importance. Much of the water resources consumed in the Guadalquivir basin, especially for urban supply, come from its vast territory.

The path begins in one of its water reservoirs and runs through spaces where we will find the explanation of its valued quality, which is no other than that of the conservation of the Mediterranean mountain, the dehesas and other ecosystems where many animals live, including the Iberian lince.

Leaving the town of Baños de la Encina, which well deserves a visit, we will head for the dam of the Rumblar reservoir on the road JH-5044 (5.5 Km). After crossing it, we will find the beginning of the path (see on the map), which runs in its entirety on the unasphalt road JV-5041.

We start the road parallel to the top of the reservoir, to get away from it by the moving Lomas of the Mesonero in a west direction. We are surrounded by a Mediterranean mountain made up of characteristic species, including the oak. A place where many animals that benefit from the water, and also from the microclimate, of the large artificial lake are camped. After two and a half miles of road, the relief and vegetation change radically, entering us in a plain with olive groves and open spaces where they embrace braves. It is a suitable place to see deer, especially during the summer season in autumn.

After crossing a stream and passing through other land of work, we will surround the imposing joint of La Nava de Andújar or Santa Amalia, which has, among other buildings, its own hermitage and school, as there were many families of farm workers. Immediately after the corrijada we return to a more rugged forest land next to the Mosquila saw, whose most outstanding hill we will see in front of us.

Walking the two kilometers of dehesas that separate La Nava from the Friscalejo House we will have the opportunity to see one of the many animals that live here. It won't be hard to see deer if we go quietly and watch. They often come close to the boarders we will see in the surroundings of the house. It is much more difficult to see a lince, but we will be attracted to the collaboration between owners and Administration to protect this emblematic species, from which is reported by signs along the way.

Later on, the path surrounds the House of Gorgogil, putting us at the foot of the Mosquila saw where, after a curve, we will find the birth of the Gorgogil stream. We continue to climb up the hill of the Mosquila which, after a firewall, we find again with a denser and more wooded vegetable cover. To our right, there continue to be dehesas in a flattened land, where we will find once again brava livestock.

If we look at the fences, we will observe the use of granite pilotes, the rocky material that dominates the area. But we will also discover samples of many other uses of this noble stone, such as eating machines and all kinds of works or buildings. And when it comes to geological resources, we approach the Scoriales, where the path ends. This is an old mining enclave from which different types of metals were drawn. Its name is derived from the scum or waste from the exploitation and treatment of minerals, which were accumulated here.

Breve descripción

From Baños de la Encina will go south along the road leading to the Rumblar swamp. Arrived at the junction, we will be diverted by the JH-5044 to the right. After about 5 km, the Rumblar dam is reached, which must be crossed. Next to the relief, the path begins.

Descripción

Descripción larga

We offer you a 4x4 guided tour by local experts with great knowledge of the territory, with the intention to see the most threatened feline in the world, of which there are only just over 1100 copies left around the world: the Iberian Lince.

During the tour, we will be able to know as interesting aspects as their habitat, biology, behavior, observe the conservation actions that have been carried out for their recovery and make waiting in different areas to try to observe it. The Sierra de Andújar is the largest population core of the species, one of the best places to see it. In addition, we will try to find traces, prints and signs that indicate their presence in passing areas.

The day begins at dawn, with the aim of locating the different species that this corner of Sierra Morena offers us. To do this, you can choose to combine public areas with private areas, or to do all the activity inside the private estate.

The itinerary can be adapted to the different species that the visitor wishes to observe, although usually we begin by visiting the Sierra de Andújar Natural Park to discover the world of the nuances, the Iberian imperial eagle or the black and leonate vultures, which already in the middle of the morning lift their flight taking advantage of the thermal currents. Our guides will advise you the best option at every moment.
?
Later, we will move quietly through the best lynch territories, which are also for different mammals such as deer, wowls, muflons or boar.

Dehesas of oak, alcornoques, pyruetans, bazos, jaras, madroños, lentiscos, or different aromatic plants typical of the Mediterranean mountain, between an infinite maze of granite "bowls," will open our way to a private estate where we will have total exclusivity to make waiting by trying to observe the Iberian Lince (reduced groups).

In these farms, different actions have been carried out for the recovery of their main food, the rabbit, which have served to set up territories of adult breeding, being its area of champion, rest and reproduction.

Of course, watching without filling your stomach is complicated, so we include a breakfast and picnic lunch of local products to taste in the field.

It's complicated to describe it with words, are you coming?
