Neo-Medieval Fortresses Hike

At the time of your choice, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Ceuta and drive to the Sierra Bullones to start a 6-kilometer hiking route. Walking through the seven hills that separate Spain from Morocco, we'll discover the history of the neo-medieval forts that crown them. The fortifications were erected in the mid-19th century after the victory of the Spanish troops in the Battle of Wad-Ras. The towers have served to protect the border.

During the hike, we'll closely admire the towers of Piniés, Aranguren, Ányera, Mendizábal, Isabel II, Francisco de Asís and the fort of Príncipe Alfonso. We'll follow an uphill path of moderate difficulty along the natural border between Europe and Africa, an intercontinental trail with surprising landscapes!

After completing the hiking route, we'll return to the vehicles and, following three hours of activity, we'll drop you off at your hotel.

Pickup

This tour includes hotel pickup in Ceuta. If you're not staying in the city, we'll pick you up at the maritime station.
