Sendero El Robledal to La Maroma. One of the most well known walks, this challenging, linear walk is 8.5km long, ascending 1,000m, and takes around four hours. It climbs the northern face of the park's highest peak, La Maroma. Take the C-335 and turn off down a forestry track at the Venta de La Alcaicería. Once at the Casa Forestal de Robledal Alto, take another track that goes south towards Los Barracones, a rural tourism centre. Park here, because cars aren't allowed any further, and start walking.

The church was built from 1640 onwards, opposite the site occupied by the previous Iglesia de Santa María, which was destroyed during the Moorish Rebellion. It was renovated in 1771 according to the project of the architect Francisco Ruiz Garrido de Vera.
The church was built on the site of the former mosque, dating from the sixteenth century. The choir is impressive, created with great originality, and the interior is divided into the main altar (dedicated to the Virgen de las Angustias) and the two side chapels (one in honor of Jesús Nazareno and the other of the Virgen de la Soledad).
The Mudejar-style church was built in the first half of the seventeenth century and has been restored on several occasions. It was erected in 1505, but disappeared in 1570 after the Moorish Rebellion and the depopulation of the mountains.
The date of the Chapel is unknown, however, it appears in Gérgal’s plan in Pascual Madoz’s “Geographical-Statistical-Historical Dictionary” made between 1845-1850. On its main facade reads the inscription: “Ermita San Sebastián (1734)”.
