A very beautiful path through the gorge. It's not very busy in the off-season. I have no idea how crowded it will be during peak season. The stream has to …

Aqueduct Trail View, National Park Sierra de Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama

Highlight • Trail

Magnificent views from the aqueduct that brings water to Frigiliana.
Be careful, the course is not secure everywhere. I walked about 2 km without security. Some parts are between mountain and cliff, sometimes impressive.
Subject to vertigo abstain!

I left to do this course, a bit by chance because my initial 7.5 km trip seemed a bit short. Incredible course with varied views and passages... Sometimes a little …

Sierra de Tejeda irrigation channel

Highlight • Structure

3 narrow places, some of which can only be negotiated by walking duck-like under the rocks through the canal. So only take a small daypack (20l) and water sandals with …

Acequia de Lizar

Highlight • Trail

A thrilling trail along the aqueduct. A long stretch is easy to walk without safety equipment. You'll need a head for heights and surefootedness! Near Frigiliana, a fall protection system has been built next to the aqueduct.

Attention ⚠️
The section along the water channel is secured in the first part, the remaining 4 km are unsecured and only suitable for hikers with absolutely sure-footedness and a head for heights.

April 6, 2024,Acequia de Lizar – Frigiliana Runde von Frigiliana

Attention, someone wrote here that the path had been newly repaired and secured. That is NOT true. The first 2-2.5km are OK, the rest should be approached with caution. We joined a couple so that we could help each other in very difficult places. 2 bridges could only be crossed through water. We walked the entire canal, about 6.5-7km and …

May 18, 2025,Frigiliana; Wasserkanal

A canal hike starts from the White Mountain village of Frigiliana. Initially, the canal is well secured with a railing. However, after about 1.5 km, the railing ends, and the path continues without railing. Those with a sure footing and a head for heights will have no problems.

March 11, 2024,Von Frigilana entlang des Levada Weges

You can park for free on the side of the street or in the parking garage. First we go through the romantic Frigilana. Then follow the path along the Levada. With every kilometer you get closer to the mountains. We then go back through the riverbed. A tour with many beautiful views 😃

February 5, 2024,Acequia de Lizar -Frigiliana Tag 2

Day two was a shorter and easier tour from the town of Frigiliana. About 5km along the watercourse into the country and back along the dry river. The tour and the weather were “balm for the soul”
