Description by the author

Stage 12 of the GR-247, which runs from the Casa Forestal Collado Zamora Refuge to Belerda, offers a challenging and rewarding hiking experience in the heart of Andalusia. With a length of 17.5 kilometers and an accumulated altitude difference of 363 meters, this route is ideal for those looking to immerse themselves in nature and enjoy breathtaking landscapes. Along the route, hikers will have the opportunity to explore the rich history of the region. One of the most notable points of interest is the Atalaya del Infante Don Enrique, also known as the Atalaya del Puerto de Tíscar. This tower, built in the 14th century, is located in the municipality of Quesada and offers a strategic view of the surroundings. Its elevated location makes it an ideal place to understand the historical importance of the area and enjoy panoramic views. Another attraction that cannot be overlooked is the Cueva del Agua de Tíscar, a natural limestone cave located in the same municipality. This cave is a fascinating example of the local geology and a perfect spot for those interested in nature and the exploration of underground formations. The route, which presents a high level of difficulty, challenges hikers to traverse varied landscapes, from dense forests to open views that allow for an appreciation of the beauty of the natural environment. The combination of history, nature, and the physical challenge that this stage represents makes it a memorable experience for hiking enthusiasts. It is advisable to bring enough water and provisions, as well as good footwear, since the terrain can be uneven in some sections. Upon finishing the stage in Belerda, walkers can reflect on the cultural and natural richness they have experienced along the way, making this route one of the most significant on the GR-247.
