This section of the Camino Mozárabe de Almería starts in Guadix, a strategically important cathedral city between Almería and Granada. The route is mainly uphill. Once you leave Guadix, you mainly avoid main roads and there is some impressive scenery on the way as you walk through the heavily eroded badlands of Purullena, the first village you come to. You then walk on to the village of Marchal, and here begins the uphill ascent, gradual at first to reach the villages of Los Baños and then Graena, before becoming steeper as you walk along the main road and you get nearer to the village of La Peza. There is a viewpoint at the top of the hill and here you have an excellent view of the village below and the Arab castle on the opposite hill. You leave the main road at this point and follow the track on your left on to the Cortijo de la Plata. This route is for people who wish to stay at Cortijo de la Plata
