50 hikers complete 14km Sierra Nevada route from Almuñecar before summer pause

Organisers at the Almuñecar Council Sports Area have delivered another successful session within the 2026 Hiking Programme. Fifty participants joined a medium-difficulty fourteen-kilometre hike through the Sierra Nevada area. Everyone took part in direct engagement with one of Andalucia’s most emblematic natural settings. The Almuñecar hiking programme supports regular outdoor activity. Such walks support physical fitness and mental refreshment through time spent in mountain surroundings.

Walkers covered ground passing several locations of note during their outing. These included Hoya de la Mora, Telesqui Montebajo, Rio Dilar, Chorreras del Molinillo, Barranco del Misterio, Lagunillo, Loma de En Medio, the source of Rio Dilar, Lagunillas de la Virgen, Collado de las Yeguas and Virgen de las Nieves.

Melting snow influenced the landscape and created fresh water flows across the terrain. Every section offered awe-inspiring views of the changing mountain environment typical for this season in the Sierra Nevada range.

Programme schedule and future plans

Council-led hiking programme organisers selected this event as the final activity before the summer pause. A break follows during the warmer months when high temperatures make such routes like this less comfortable. Activities resume on September 20 with new proposals directed at further exploration of natural spaces that possess great landscape and environmental value.

Preparation work during the pause allows the team to refresh the calendar and introduce variety for returning and new participants in the Almuñecar hiking programme.
