Hike in Canillas de Albaida

A walk in the Sierras de Tejeda Almijara y Alhama, natural park

This hike in Canillas de Albaida is quite rare in the south of Spain because it is done in the forest within the natural park of the sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama . A protected natural park of more than 40,000 hectares which is divided between the province of Malaga ( in Axarquia ) and the Province of Granada.

La fabrica de la luz in Canillas de Albaida

The hike begins about 3km from the village of Canillas de Albaida . The starting point is the old fabrica de la luz. Electricity was produced here thanks to the river. River that you can walk along for a while.

It can be quite simply a superb place for a picnic in the cool summer.

Those who love silence, spaces, wildlife and nature will not be disappointed by these places.

The rules for this hike

We take a small backpack with food and drink, as well as a bag that will be used to keep all the rubbish to throw it on the way back, and especially not to leave anything in nature. For safety, and even if there are more than 300 sunny days a year, we check that there has been no rain on the previous days.
