Pico Huma trail, also known as \u201cThe Balcony of Andalusia\u201d because from its summit you can see almost all of Andalusia. This hiking trail, the most spectacular in El Chorro, M\u00e1laga, is considered an ascent to the peak of the Sierra Huma, with a maximum elevation of 1,191 meters and a total length of 13.35 kilometers. At the summit, you can enjoy incredible views of Pico Capilla to the east, Camorro Alto, El Torcal, the Sierra de las Cabras, Pe\u00f1a Negra, and the rest of the peaks in the Arco Calizo Central range. Additionally, this trail is notable for the presence of numerous fossils, especially ammonites. It is recommended to hike this trail during the fall, winter, and spring seasons.

We\u2019ll start with a trail suitable for everyone\u2014whether you\u2019re an experienced hiker or not\u2014but one that\u2019s sure to impress anyone. Our Ca\u00f1ada del Lobo trail begins after crossing the bridge over the Tajo de la Encantada dam; we take the road to the right, and before reaching the power plant, we begin our hike.  <\/p>\n<p>This is a 12.5-kilometer loop trail that isn&#8217;t particularly difficult, so it&#8217;s suitable for beginner hikers; you just need to watch out for the elevation changes.<\/p>\n<p>What do I need to hike the Ca\u00f1ada del Lobo trail?<br \/>\nAlthough this trail is suitable for beginners, keep in mind that there are no facilities along the way, so you should bring water and food, if necessary, wear proper hiking shoes, and pay special attention on certain sections of the road. As with any hiking trail, it\u2019s important to bring water, sugary snacks, and proper footwear for long hikes. <\/p>\n<p>During the tour, we\u2019ll see incredible structures such as the homes carved into the rock where the Mozarabs, Muladis, and Arabs who settled around the alcazaba\u2014which no longer exists\u2014lived between the 9th and 10th centuries.<\/p>\n<p>You can also enjoy the wonderful views of the Sierra Huma and the Guadalhorce Valley; this route is recommended during the spring, fall, and winter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ca\u00f1ada del Lobo Hiking Trail<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Steps and directions for the hiking trail to Ca\u00f1ada del Lobo<\/p>\n<p>1. Start: Ca\u00f1ada del Lobo, El Chorro<br \/>\nWe set out from the La Garganta Rural Tourist Complex and head toward the \u00c1lora highway. After crossing the bridge over the Tajo de la Encantada Dam, we take the road to the right, toward the power plant. A little over three hundred meters later, before reaching the power plant, we\u2019ll see the start of a trail on our left, along with an information panel and a sign pointing toward Ardales.  <\/p>\n<p>2. Chain-Barred Crossing<br \/>\nWe\u2019ll hike up the trail through the ravine known as \u201cCa\u00f1ada del Lobo.\u201d When we reach the top, at the foot of the reservoir\u2019s retaining wall located at the summit of Mesa de Villaverde, we\u2019ll head right, skirting the wall until we reach the paved road. We\u2019ll continue to the right, heading downhill until we come to a junction on the left with a chain\u2014that\u2019s the path we\u2019ll take.  <\/p>\n<p>3. Road Crossing<br \/>\nContinuing along the path that runs alongside the reservoir, we\u2019ll reach the road; before that, we\u2019ll pass by the feeding station (for scavenger birds).<\/p>\n<p>4. Bobastro Cave Church<br \/>\nAt this point, we have the option to visit the ruins of the Mozarabic church in Bobastro, keeping in mind that this would add an additional two kilometers to our route. To do so, we head down the road to the right; after about one kilometer, we\u2019ll come to a wooden booth where we can get information and purchase tickets (it\u2019s recommended to check visiting hours in advance). We\u2019ll then retrace our steps back to the intersection of the path that led us to the road and continue on to the cave houses and the lookout point.  <\/p>\n<p>5. Access to the cave houses<br \/>\nAt the intersection of the path, we head up the road that runs along the reservoir. After walking a little over one kilometer\u2014passing a house on our left and rounding a few curves\u2014we\u2019ll see a concrete monolith next to the road, at the edge of the ravine. Here, there\u2019s a path we can take to go down.  <\/p>\n<p>6. Cave House<br \/>\nOn this mountainside, you can see the structures of dwellings carved into the rock\u2014stairs, caves, and cavities\u2014that served as homes for the Mozarabs, Muladis, and Arabs who settled here around the alcazaba, which no longer exists, the center of Omar ben Hafsun\u2019s rebellion against the Caliphate of C\u00f3rdoba between the 9th and 10th centuries.<\/p>\n<p>7. Sierra Huma Viewpoint<br \/>\nAfter visiting the caves, we retrace our steps back to the road that leads us to the Tajo de la Encantada Viewpoint, where we can enjoy extraordinary views of the Sierra Huma and the Guadalhorce Valley spread out below us.<\/p>\n<p>8. Return<br \/>\nTo return, we follow the road back until we reach the house next to the reservoir. Here, we head down a path, keeping the house on our right, until we reach the road that runs alongside the reservoir. Continuing in the same direction, we come to some pine trees, where we take a path that leads down alongside the dam wall. <\/p>\n<p>We head down the same path we took on the way up, following the GR7 signposts to the power station, and return to El Chorro.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"toggle-links align_none\"><button class=\"collapsible-content-more\">Read more<\/button><button class=\"collapsible-content-less\">Read less<\/button><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-popup w-btn-wrapper align_center\"><button class=\"w-popup-trigger type_btn w-btn us-btn-style_1\" aria-label=\"Request more information\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"w-btn-label\">Request more information<\/span><\/button><div class=\"w-popup-overlay\" style=\"background:rgba(0,0,0,0.85);\"><\/div><div class=\"w-popup-wrap layout_default\" role=\"dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" aria-label=\"Popup\" style=\"--title-color:var(--color-content-heading);--title-bg-color:var(--color-content-bg-alt);--content-color:var(--color-content-text);--content-bg-color:var(--color-content-bg);--popup-width:1000px;\"><button aria-label=\"Close\" class=\"w-popup-closer\" type=\"button\"><\/button><div class=\"w-popup-box animation_fadeIn closerpos_outside without_title\"><div class=\"w-popup-box-h\"><div class=\"w-popup-box-content\"><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"w-html\"><iframe \n  id=\"clientify-iframe\"\n  srcdoc='<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/api.clientify.net\/web-marketing\/superforms\/script\/286889.js\"><\/script>'\n  style=\"width:100%;
