Start: Cortijo Gámiz, Coordinates: 37.429788, -4.234739
End: Rute
Length: 19.6 km, linear
Time (one way): 8 hours
Difficulty: Medium-High
This path crosses the Natural Park in its southern slope, and runs through an area in contact with olive groves and with the steep slopes of the Sierra de Horconera, the highest in the province of Cordoba.
We will start the route between olive groves until we get to the Cortijo de Gámiz (normally it is possible to park), where we will take a detour to the right, continuing between stone walls in the direction of the Sierra de los Pollos. After a gentle climb and a descent, we will reach the Cage stream, which we will cross over a bridge. After just over 100 m, we will reach the CO-7208 road, which we will take to our left, towards Rute.
The road runs between the ridge of the mountain range and the stream of Jaula. Before us the massif of the Sierra de Horconera becomes closer and closer.
After just over 4 km, we will leave the road at Cortijo del Puerto del Cerezo, taking a path that crosses the Los Villares stream through a bridge known as the Posada de los Arrieros. We will advance along the slopes of Pico Bermejo until we reach the Vichira farmhouse. From here we will pass by Rute El Viejo ruins, leaving on the right the recreational area of Fuente Alta, to finish the route in Rute.
This path is part of the GR-7 that starts from Andorra to the Strait of Gibraltar. The climb to the cave of the Morrión is demanding to be a quarry with quite unevenness.
The views from the top include a multitude of mountain ranges being practically located in the center of Andalusia: Sierra Nevada, Mágina, Iznájar reservoir, Sierra del Torcal and Sierra de las Nieves among others.
