The mountain of Torrecilla is situated in the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park and is the highest peak in Western Andalucia, with an altitude of 1,919 meters above sea level. The hike to the summit can be challenging, as it involves walking on ungroomed small paths and a rough, rocky and steep ascent to the peak. Once you reach the top, you will be treated to breathtaking views in all directions, making you feel like you're on top of the world.

Note: Good walking shoes/boots are highly recommended as the path is ungroomed, and the final ascent is a steep rocky climb to the summit. Bring walking poles if you walk with them normally.  A picnic or plenty of snacks and water are essential on this walk.

Note: Due to fire risk, vehicles are prohibited from accessing the higher reaches of the Sierra de las Nieves during the summer months, so we cannot get high enough to do this walk. Closure months change according to conditions but can be from May to September. Further advice on application.
