A circular route along the emblematic path of La Estrella to the Cortijo de los Hornillos, a spectacular balcony overlooking the northern faces of the Sierra Nevada located in a clearing in a huge oak grove, where we will spend the night. The route follows the course of the Genil River until reaching the foot of the large glacial valleys that descend from Mulhacén and Alcazaba.

We will access the Vereda de la Estrella from the Barranco de San Juan, 20 minutes by vehicle from Güejar Sierra.
