From Cazorla to Puerto del Tejo
From the Parador de Cazorla begin many hiking paths that are not very well signaled but that can be an alternative to those that, like us, arrive at the Parador and are not too eager to take the car again to get to another interesting place of the area, taking into account the numerous curves that we left behind in order to get here. It is our first contact with Sierra de Cazorla.
In the Parador’s reception, they informed us about many paths and, taking into account that we had just ate and felt like napping, we left our laziness behind and decided to take the route towards Puerto de Tejo, which was semi-difficult and about two hours long. We did almost three hours, since we took our time, delighting with the landscapes and its numerous animals: fawns and deer that crossed our way.
The path starts after crossing the bridge that gives way to the Parador. There you turn left and take the forest path that starts next to the forestall house of Sacejo. After passing a barrier between beautiful pine trees, we started to go up. The first part is quite steep, but afterwards it gets a lot easier.
It is about 300 meters above sea level, and you go back the same way. It is a route in extraordinary natural surroundings. It is ideal to start an appetite, before going back to taste a fantastic dinner at the Parador.
