From the picturesque village of Laujar de Andarax, capital of the Alpujarra since the fall of the Morisco reign in the 1700th century. Up to the Refugio El Cerecillo under the peak of the Corro del Almirez at 2517 metres. The route covers approximately 25 kms. and takes in the rich wine growing region of Laujar, with the opportunity of a tasting in one of the Bodegas in the village, through the forested area of hillside to the Nacimiento picnic area. There is an opportunity to see the Laujar trout fishery and discover the local sweet pastries and hams of the region. Overnight stops are possible at 2 local, camping grounds, or the refugios on route.
