The uniqueness of this linear route is that through the river Alcalá la Real and Vega granadina communicated, making it a strategic area of the Sierra Sur de Jaén, throughout its history.
The path that begins in the village of Ribera Alta, for the most part on roads and paths, near or on the margins of the Salobral stream, the Palanantia stream and above all on the banks of the river Velillos, which we will be forced to cross on several occasions. The fountain of the Bath Cortijo will help us to refresh, before it takes some height to enjoy a great view of the river and up the Ribera Alta. Friars and the hill of the Martina at the bottom and looking down at the village of Ribera bajo.
On the bridge next to Tahona, we arrive to the Baja Bank, small pedanía of Alcalá la Real, where the landscape is made up of 800 and 900 meters covered with olive trees, and in the low parts cereal crops. It is here that the river crosses the town side by side, with a magnificent Vega and some choperas or small wires, which give it a picturesque image and a refreshing climate.
