GR-247 Bosques del Sur

Description

The GR247is the largest hiking route in the largest natural space in Spain. The GR247 Forest of the South path offers you 478 km marked, along 21 main stages and 11 derivations to places of interest. The GR also has 3 variants, composed of two sections each, that will help you subdivide the layout, and make a version adapted to your interests and time available. You decide how to do it! Its tour will take you to the births of the Guadalquivir and Segura rivers, it will enter you by the mosaic of landscapes of this mountain: high mountain peaks, castles, forests, rivers and waterfalls, traditional roads, altiplanicies, villages and villages still inhabited, historical sets, olive groves and orchards. A great way to discover the flight of the broken bones, the cleanest waters, the conversation with the transhuman pastors, the way to live in the mountain villages..., a collection of experiences and the authenticity of the most extensive saws of Andalusia, await you on the verge of this road. Most of the stages start and end in places with basic services - sources, villages or villages, campsites and other accommodation, camping areas or near carts. Other sections have only emergency shelters, without services, built to provide these areas of the GR. It well plans your journey because some stages go through very remote places, without telephone coverage, often subject to high mountain conditions that can leave you isolated (snow, wind and low-zero temperatures in winter, or lack of water and permanent insolation in summer), so you must be informed of the conditions before you start the route; in addition to having enough of your breath. You decide where to start the road, how many steps you will make on this visit to the park, how to divide the walk or, if you prefer, dedicate all your holidays to the full tour. Never leave the route, always follow the rules of use of the GR and the shelters as well as the instructions of the natural park staff. It respects all the rules of protected space as you walk the path and use its equipment. Landscapes full of memory await the steps and the complicit look of the walker, in one of the most interesting natural spaces in southern Europe.
