This route is a round trip from the car park located just before the entrance to the Nerja caves. The path is wide and stony. After a little over 6 km, you will arrive at Cortigo de la Sibila (ruins), the last flat area before tackling the 4 km climb to the summit. You need to be more careful before the summit as there are fewer signs. Look for the blue or red markings and the mounds of stones (cairns). At the summit there is a cross. You have a view of the coast (Nerja, Maro, Torrox...) and the Sierra Nevada if the sky is clear. The return journey is via the same route.
Reach the entrance to the Sierra de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama Natural Park.
Follow the signs for "Sendero Pico del Cielo".
After 2.8 km, the path splits and you must take the right-hand path.
It is sometimes possible to reach this spot by car, but the road is rough and often closed to vehicles.
From this point, the path climbs more steeply and becomes a narrow trail a little further on.
