The long distance walking route through the
Sierra Morena GR-48
The route of the Sierra Morena trail - GR
48 starts in the village of Barrancos in
Portugal and runs along public roads
through the province of Huelva, Seville, Córdoba
and Jaén along 590 km in 28 stages
and an alternative route..
It is designed to take you through six nature
parks in Andalucía, coinciding with green
footpaths that inter-communicate protected
areas, historic and traditional pathways.
Landscapes where Mediterranean forest
predominates in its purest form along side
meadows, declared by the UNESCO to be
a Reserve of the Biosphere, with some olive
groves scattered about. Territory that is still
the habitat for species as scarce as the
Iberian lynx, the wolf, black vulture and the
Spanish imperial eagle. Villages with history
where man has known how to preserve
natural values by integrating them into his
own way of life.
