CERRO DE LA CRUZ
Today again we turn our steps toward Natural Park Sierra de Huétor . The lack of logistic support for the route of the Queen Sinks (to see if anyone kindly provided or is provided with a 4x4 such that many will boast for the traffic and we can go up to Corralejo, back in the Loma The Cradle of the quarter, and start the tour as God intended) and the other Mary to Los Angeles working for the first time in 20 years on Sunday in their new health movement and all this like we did pull up, take a bit of gardening and take "a couple" container program. So after a day rather than work, wait for the heat loosened the rope and decided to make a lightning start of those calls to keep the sidewalk.

It was about 19:00 h. Alfacar when we leave to the A-92 to take the exit marked "Parque Natural de la Sierra de Huétor and parking in the vicinity of the Forest House " The PEÑONCILLO " to which we and back, and walked to quickly find a fork in the routing and closed the two options in step with their respective chains to prevent the passage of vehicles. We take the exit on the left (on the right would lead us to the Fountain of Teja).
The rail runs comfortably and is regaling us with abundant vegetation and magnificent specimens of pines, redwoods, firs, chestnuts and holm oaks and many other species of scrub and odors that other so we are raiding. A kilometer
the start of the march we met with the Forest House Bolones , Which visited deflected to the right and going down a narrow hall and cypress walls. The house has an arched doorway on each side and its facade is the purest Andalusian style farmhouse. My opinion ... because it is completely abandoned to the fate of nature and not used to anything. Could use for example for young colonies, nature center, museum mycological, in order that once again the hand of the abandonment of man goes through this house.
We return to the forest track to our left, leaving behind an old well, two firewalls, and on our right a pool. It is the Source of Bolones and supplies the Darro its first water. A few minutes later we currency and the Darro River Valley running at our feet to our right. On the contrary before we, first, the Cerro de Casa Fuerte and then the Cerro de la Cruz (1,367 m.) and objective point of our journey. So we will continue on the track bumping with area nurseries redwoods and firs.

Lane ground in their final turns white and sandy, leads to a narrow path completely surrounding the Hill and flows into another lane coming from the town of Huétor point where there are magnificent views of the Sierra Nevada peaks, the Trevenque, the bridge over the A-92 on the river Darro, and Cerro the mewing and the Guardhouse for fire control, and of course, splendid views of the host, the local Granada Huetor Santillán. On May 3 in the neighbors usually do a pretty pilgrimage to these places and climb to the top, the hill before us.
Now to top it off, leaving only the ascent of Cerro de la Cruz. For this we turn, as if we we returned on our steps and move a little to the right, some just a steep and rocky path that runs right in principle over which we brought.
At its summit is a metal cross which has recorded the date of his baptism (3-5-1.970 ") and beautiful views to 360 º. Views "accent" and augmented with those located above and below (I forgot to mention that I killed my family and friends, the Beas de Granada, not to see them, come on) pictures and some grasp at dusk and gave a further touch of charm to the walk. The return do the same path that has brought us. With very careful in going down the hill because there are many loose rocks. And giving your feet, because we missed the night is over, we turn the car to take us home. As usual some pictures to remember. The one time that, as present, the snapshots.
