This circular route explores the Badlands area to the north of Guadix. The route is 10.41 km long, has an elevation of 179 m and takes about 3.5 hours to complete.
This circular route starts in Guadix. We make our way up towards the Ermita del Humilladero and then follow the track past railway tracks, crossing the highway, and climbing up via the Camino de la Cueva del Monje, with fantastic views of the Rambla de Zaraguhit, Sierra Nevada, the Altiplano de Guadix and the Cueva del Monje. We continue on through a pine forest which leads to a number of rock formations known as El Diente and La Muela. We then follow the Rambla de Baza back down to return to the starting point.
There are a couple of bars near the big roundabout to have a beer after the walk but they were full. Opposite the park is a bar called Cafetería Versalles which is welcoming and they don't mind if you push the tables together.
