Itinerary description
Hicimos esta ruta un grupito de amigos en un día soleado de mayo, pero con una brisita que ha hecho llevadero el senderismo. La ruta hemos encontrado en Wikiloc donde todos la han elogiado como una de las más bonitas de la zona. Y así es. Empezamos en el Camping de Grazalema, donde aparcamos el coche. Los primeros dos kilómetros y medio es una subida acusado y por un terreno rocoso donde hay que andar con mucho cuidado. Después la ruta desciende por paisajes muy variadas, el bosques, los llanos del Endrinal, la Pila y el nacimiento del río, el Puerto de Boyar, para termimar caminando por el agradable Paseo Peatonal a la ribera del rio hasta volver al Camping. Hay muchas cosas que ver, unas caleras, una antigua nevera (Pozo de las Nieves) donde antaño guardaban el hielo y algunas carnes, y las rocas Lapiaces. Hemos pasado por numerosos puentes de madera, mesas y sillas esculpidas en la roca caliza, y merenderos. Y vimos una gran varidad de flora, un despliegue impresionante de Peonías (ver baliza "Peonías"), las últimas orquídeas de la temporada, y finalmente unos ejemplares de Pinsapos. Por todo el camino nos han deleitado los pájaros con sus cánticos, y vimos unos buitres sobre mediodía volando por el pico del Simancón. Hacía mucho calor, pero a lo largo de la ruta hay arboles que proporcionan una sombra para parar y recuperar. No hay agua en la ruta hasta llegar a la Pila, y no hay indicaciones de si es potable o no, pero vale para refrescar el cuerpo por afuera. ¿Qué ruta más completa? ¡Tiene de todo! Ha sido la última ruta de la temporada invierno-primavera de nuestro grupito liderado por Miguel Ángel Robles de Medusa ADN. Parece que hemos guardado el mejor vino para el final. Otro problema, tantas fotos preciosas, ¿como cribarlas para publicar?
Our little group of friends did this group on a sunny day in May 2014, but with a little breeze which made the hiking tolerable. We found this route in Wikiloc, where everybody praised it as one of the most beautiful in the area. And it really is! We started in the Camping of Grazalema where we parked the car. The first two kilometres and a half is a sharp climb through a very rocky terrain where it is necessary to take a lot of care. After that the route descends through very varied landscapes, the Endrinal (orhard of sloe trees) flatlands, forests, the well and the source of a river, the Boyar Gap, to arrive at a very nice Pedestrian pathway along the river until you return to the Camping. There is so much to see, lime kilns, an ancient Ice pit where in the past food and ice were stored, and then the Lapiaz rock formation. We crossed numerous wooden bridges, there are tables and seats sculptured in the limestone, and picnic areas. We came across a wide variety of flora, including an impressive display of Peonías, the last orchids of the season, and finally some of the rare Pinsapos trees. All along the route we were entertained by the birdsong, and we saw some vultures at midday circling over the Simancón Peak. It was very hot, but there are trees along the route which provide some shade where you can to stop and recover. There is no water until you arrive at the "Pila" or basin, and there is no indication whether it is drinkable or not, but it was good to refresh the body "exterior". What a complete Route? It has everything! It was our last hike of this winter-spring season for our little group lead by Miguel Ángel Robles of Medusa ADN. It appears that we kept the best wine till last. And another problem, so many beautiful photos, how to narrow down the ones to publish.

Una ruta muy bonita, aunque gracias al grupo que me encontré de Cadiz que la conocían sino es dificil de hacer
Me alegro Galtzatxopiñes. Me acuerdo muy bien de la ruta, fuimos un grupo pequeño de amigos. Tengo ganas de repetirla. murraydublin
👏👏🌹🌹
Yaser, I am delighed that you thought this route justified 5 stars. It is just 10 years since I did the hike. Now that I am nearing 86 years, but still very active, I am still hiking but less strenuous routes. However, I can still do 8 to 10 km. There are routes suitable for every age.
Fantastic route we really enjoyed it. Impressive views and beautiful spring flowers. One question, although the distance was accurate we only climbed 495m elevation. We left from a car park in the village as per instructions and found the route easy to follow. Any ideas how we missed 200m climb?
We will definitely repeat this hike as starting and ending in such a pretty village was a bonus.
Quisiera ir!
Fácil de seguir. Nuesto hijo de 6 años hizo la ruta completa! La primera subida desde el camping es pronunciada pero asequible. Vimos muchos buitres y cabras montesas.
