Hiking

We start the route to climb Lucero (1774 m) in Puerto Blanquillo, after traveling an unpaved road for 12 km. It is recommended to take a car with high suspension to avoid problems.

In Puerto Blanquillo, there is no car park as such. We will simply leave the car parked on the side of the road and start the route from there.

We will do the route in a circular way, making the descent through the Puerto del Daire. However, it is also possible to return by the same path that you ascended. The distance is the same.

They should fix the road. It's a shame that the Andalusian government doesn't spend a single penny on the roads.

Hiking

Puerto Blanquillo is a mountain pass in the Sierra Tejeda that has long served as a natural crossing point between different valleys and mountain routes. Historically, it was used by shepherds, muleteers, and travellers moving through the Sierra before the arrival of modern roads. Today, the pass is a well-known waypoint for hikers, offering access to several trails and fine views of the surrounding mountains and the Axarquía region.
