Experience the Sierra de la Sagra-Granada: Unforgettable moments await at Cortijo La Paloma
Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Sierra de La Sagra-Granada mountains and discover a world of authentic experiences. Cortijo La Paloma is the perfect starting point for exploring breathtaking landscapes, connecting with nature, and creating lasting memories. You'll find directions at the house to help you navigate the estate and make the most of the trails.
Here are two wonderful experiences starting right from the Cortijo:
Walk to the Redwood Grove
Just a short stroll from the Cortijo, the Raigadas River invites you on a pleasant walk through the flattest part of the estate. Follow its course and enjoy the gentle murmur of water as you enter a unique landscape.
After crossing the river at three easily accessible points (especially in summer), you'll reach a small, magical forest of ancient redwoods. Declared a "Unique Grove" by the Andalusian government, these giants from California were planted over 180 years ago by an ancestor of the family.
Currently, the grove is undergoing restoration and access is restricted to the public. As a guest of Cortijo La Paloma, you'll have the privilege of discovering this natural treasure during your stay.
Ascent to the Peak of La Sagra: An adventure for hiking enthusiasts
For the more adventurous, the ascent to the summit of La Sagra offers an unforgettable experience. Two different routes cross the estate, both suitable for experienced hikers in good physical condition.
Enjoy spectacular views along the way as you surround yourself with ancient black pines, some of the oldest in Andalusia. Keep your eyes peeled and you might be lucky enough to spot majestic raptors or herds of mountain goats.
The Sierra de Granada has even more in store for you
Cortijo La Paloma is the starting point for discovering the natural and cultural richness of the Sierra de La Sagra-Granada. Here are some ideas to complete your experience:
