Access to the Sulayr trail.

This route is designed to guide you from the village of Bérchules to the starting point of Section 7—which runs from Loma del Lastonar to Trevélez—traversing the high-mountain terrain of Bérchules.

"Sulayr"—meaning "Mountain of the Sun"—is the name the Arabs gave to the Sierra Nevada, and it was chosen for Spain's longest circular trail.

Reviving the ancient name of Sulayr has also meant rescuing countless mountain paths from oblivion. Following these routes—which weave across the mid-mountain slopes between the peaks and the villages—we will traverse 300 kilometers around this unique mountain. We will walk along muleteer tracks and forestry paths—traditional trails used by the various cultures that settled in the foothills and lived within the Sierra.

It is a circular trail that encircles the entire Sierra Nevada massif at an average elevation of 1,800 to 2,000 meters. The route crosses ridges and ravines, forests and meadows that serve as habitats for numerous plant and animal species, and where traces of past agricultural and livestock farming activities can still be found. All of this makes the journey an unforgettable experience.
