Another way to get to Pinos Genil is along the path that flows the banks of the Genil river, which links the capital of Granada with the centre of the town itself. It is an easy and accessible route for the whole family, which can be done on foot or by bike. The best option to enjoy a wonderful day of family and nature tourism.
The complete route, from Puente Verde to Pinos Genil along the Fuente de la Bicha Promenade, is 8 km outward and 8 km return, with an estimated time for each section of two and a half hours.
The route is well signposted and well prepared, being very flat and easy to follow without getting lost. Moreover, it is perfect to go accompanied by our four-legged friends. Another advantage is that it can be done on both sides of the river, which offers us a perfect circular path.
The proximity of the path to the towns through which it runs allows for different alternatives, such as leaving the car in Cenes de la Vega and doing shorter stretches, taking the city bus line 33 to or from Los Pinillos, returning from Pinos Genil by bus… A thousand alternatives that cater for all types of hikers and nature lovers.
We recommend you to cross the river by its different footbridges, look for the Pita´s Fountain, contemplate the river from the dam, watch the ducks near the village, drink water in the fountain in the square or sit in the shade of its large trees… In this article you have the whole route in detail. https://somoslittle.com/paseo-familiar-pinos-genil/
