Explore the area around Finca Gordo: An Adventurous Hiking Experience
Welcome to the Finca Gordo weblog!
Our bed and breakfast, located in the heart of Andalusia, is the perfect base for hikers who want to explore the beautiful nature. From impressive mountain peaks to refreshing river trips, there are countless routes for every adventurer. In this article we share some of the most beautiful walks that you can do directly from Finca Gordo or that are within a short drive.
### The Ana y Gomer Walk: A 1.5-Hour Circular Route
For those who want to leave directly from our B&B, the circular walk along the Ana y Gomer is a fantastic choice. This route of about an hour and a half takes you through the quiet, rural landscape of Andalusia. The rolling hills, the olive groves and the breathtaking views of the Ana y Gomer make this a wonderful route to start or end the day.
The walk is suitable for all levels and offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy nature along the way. Whether you want to walk in silence or stop occasionally to take photos, this route will give you a relaxing experience of the surrounding beauty of Finca Gordo.
### Climb the Ana y Gomer: For the Fanatics
Are you looking for a bigger challenge? We offer guidance for the climb of the Ana y Gomer, a mountain of no less than 1650 meters high. This hike is an adventure for the more experienced hiker who is not afraid of a tough challenge. The climb is steep and requires a good condition, but the view from the top is worth every effort. On clear days you can even see the coast of the Mediterranean and in the distance the mountains of Africa.
We are happy to accompany you on this journey, so that you can reach the top safely and with confidence. For lovers of adventure and untouched nature this is an absolute must!
### El Torcal de Antequera: A Wonderful Karst Landscape
Just a 30 minute drive from Finca Gordo you will find **El Torcal de Antequera**, one of the most unique natural parks in Spain. This area is known for its spectacular limestone rock formations, which have taken on bizarre shapes through millions of years of erosion. It is like walking through an alien landscape.
There are two routes in El Torcal: a short one of about an hour and a longer one of two hours. Both paths take you through a maze of rocks, past natural bridges and caves. This is also the perfect place to spot the Spanish ibex (capricorn), which climbs effortlessly over the rocks. In addition, birds of prey fly majestically above the gorges and valleys. The views from the higher points are spectacular, with panoramic views over the Andalusian landscape.
### El Santillo: A Quiet Alternative to the Caminito del Rey
Would you rather take a quiet walk without the crowds of tourists? About half an hour's drive from Finca Gordo lies **El Santillo**, a hidden gem in the mountains. This lesser-known route offers the same impressive views as the famous Caminito del Rey, but without the crowds. The walk takes you through a beautiful valley and along steep cliffs, where you can fully enjoy the peace and nature around you.
### The Caminito del Rey: Exciting and Iconic
For the real daredevils, the **Caminito del Rey** is a must-see. This famous hiking trail, about an hour’s drive from Finca Gordo, takes you along a path built into sheer rock faces, high above deep gorges and rivers. It is a spectacular route, famous for its dizzying heights and breathtaking views. Although the Caminito del Rey was once known as the most dangerous hiking trail in the world, it has now been completely renovated and is safe for hikers of all levels.
### Cooling off in the Rivers: Rio Chillar and Patamalara
When the weather warms up, **Rio Chillar** and **Patamalara** are perfect hiking options. The Rio Chillar is an adventurous river walk where you walk through the water. The trail runs through a riverbed, past narrow gorges and waterfalls. The cool water at your feet makes for a refreshing experience, especially on hot days.
The **Patamalara** offers a similar experience, but in a quieter area. Here you walk along the banks of a calm river, with several places where you can cool your feet in the clear water. Both routes are ideal for those who want to escape the heat and enjoy the beautiful Andalusian landscape at the same time.
