El Trevenque

After the hot summer months the school offered the first trekking tour to the Trevenque Peak. 

We started from la Zubia. There is a forest track which leads to the foot of the Trevenque. Along the way, you shall walk on past the Cortijo (farmhouse) de la Fuente de Hervidero, the last strech with drinking water. The track makes its way crossing Huene´s brook twice, to farther run on perpendicular to it. Then, it goes to Cortichuela, where you shall prepare the climb to the peak of El Trevenque and reach subsequently its top. From the top you can enjoy the beautiful views of Los Alayos and the Veleta. The Trevenque is a sharp mountain with steep sides, belonging to the limestoned Sierra Nevada. Here, half a hundred strange plants live; some of them can only be found round the peak of the mountains. For that reason, this area has great ecologic value.
