#4 - Cahorros de Monachil
Parque Nacional Sierra NevadaLength: 4.5 mi • Est. 2 h 37 m
The Cahorros hike is one of the most popular outdoor destinations in the province of Granada. This adventure begins in Monachil (from Latin, monastery), a town in Granada located 14 km from the capital. Throughout this walk you will find waterfalls, rocks eroded by the river, hanging bridges and spectacular views. This trail is full of wildflowers, fruit trees like apricot trees, almond, cherry and apple trees. Spring is the most recommended season of the year, since the flowers are in their full splendor, but try to avoid going on the weekend, since there is a huge influx of people. Monachil is located within a valley in the Sierra Nevada National and Natural Park and is also known for the Sierra Nevada ski resort.
