El Saltillo Trail + Canillas de Aceituno Village

Discover the El Saltillo Trail, one of Andalusia’s hidden gems, where dramatic footbridges span the Almanchares Gorge and scenic paths wind through the rugged Sierra Tejeda. Along the way, you will walk alongside the acequias, traditional irrigation channels that have sustained local agriculture for centuries, supporting olive groves, almond trees, and other crops adapted to the Mediterranean climate. This breathtaking route also offers nature lovers sweeping mountain vistas, soaring eagles, and the thrill of crossing one of Spain’s most stunning hanging bridges.

After our hike, stroll through the charming village of Canillas de Aceituno. With its narrow whitewashed streets, traditional tapas bars, and Moorish heritage, this mountain town offers an authentic glimpse into rural Andalusian life.
