Beautiful hiking route through the chestnut forests in full bloom, the mountain villages of the Ronda Mountains and the Genal river valley. With wine tasting, dinner and overnight stay in the historic royal tin factory

The summer version of this tour is shorter and runs more in the river valley and forest, adapted to the temperatures.

Hiking on paths, in the river valley and on forest roads, in the midst of blooming chestnut forests. Our circular hike starts in the village of Juzcar, the famous blue village and leads over the white village of Faraján down into the valley of the Genal river.

With a night in the Historic Royal Tin Factory, which has been converted into an organic winery, a historical tour, a wine tasting, a delicious dinner and a bed to rest await us. An extraordinary unique experience.
