Ojén is one of the White Villages of the Sierra de las Nieves where you can discover the wilderness. With wonderful walks, this is an ideal destination for those who want to combine the beach and the sun with beautiful trips through the hinterland. Since the mountains rise directly from the Costa del Sol, they offer an impressive sight from the summit. In all of the rugged and hilly terrain, there is only a small part cultivated in which nature can be admired with all of its unspoilt beauty.

The best walking period is obviously Spring or Fall, when temperatures are still somewhat bearable. During Summer months, when the mercury marks above 30°C,  difficult mountain hikes are not very recommended.

The hotel offers descriptions to find the right directions.

A walk that is easy to do is the one that goes from Ojén to the El Cerezal park. And then, going back through the village up to the Plaza de Andalucia. There are plenty of opportunities to stop and have a delicious lunch.

The walks here are virtually unlimited. The white villages of Istan and Ojén are an ideal starting place for day trips. Many walks are marked but sometimes they cannot be found. Therefore, it is convenient to make difficult walks using the GPS.

The GPS is gaining a lot of popularity in recent days, mainly because of the many other outdoor activities that you can undertake with its help, such as Geocaching. In the Sierra de las Nieves, it is a good and nice challenge to do some walking, especially for kids, who will find many funny things to do.
