ROUTE: MALAGA- 10
LOCATION: Sierra de las Nieves. Los Quejigales-
Torrecilla.
TIME: Eight hours.
DESCRIPTION
Leaving the Quejigales country house we shall walk along a track
for about 500 m. and then leave it in order to make our way through
a valley wooked with pine trees.
Then, we must climb up the Cañada del Cuerno crossing a
beautiful forest of fir trees and gaining height along a twisting
track.
A bit farther, the Pilones mountain pass can be found, wich is
the starting point for interesting routes through the Sierra de
las Nieves.
From Pilones mountain pass a track leads to a television relay,
wich we shall leave on the left in order to start to descend among
gall oaks, not very frequent at this height.
From here, the Pico del Torrecilla can be seen. Its 1.919 m. will
be a point of reference in order to arrive at the foot.
