Path along the Genil River

Highlight • Cycleway

The cycle path is a green way to approach Granada. But it is not that special. Rather a missed opportunity to make something beautiful of it.

Genil River near Purchil

Highlight • River

The Río Genil is an important river in Andalusia. It is the main tributary of the Guadalquivir and flows through the provinces of Granada, Córdoba, Málaga and Seville. The river has a length of approximately 359 km and an area of 8,278 km².
The source of the Genil is in the Sierra Nevada, north of the highest peak Mulhacén. The river flows through several cities, including Granada, Loja, Puente Genil and Écija, and finally flows into the Guadalquivir at Palma del Río.
The Genil plays an important role in agriculture and water management in the region

Aurora Mine

Highlight • Structure

The last section of the climb up Montevives is very uneven and the Gravel bike is a bit tight. Better to do the ascent through the Camino de los Corsarios or take the MTB

Genil River

Highlight • River

The route offers beautiful views of the Vega de Granada, the fertile river valley of the Río Genil, with many orchards and fields. The Río Genil cycle path is a great way to enjoy nature while cycling along a relatively flat route.
