Although that is just a part of the path Mozarabic who travels through the province of Grenade.
The Granada itinerary starts from when the map leaves the province of Almería behind. Thus, it passes between the high mountain of Sierra Nevada and the badlands of Guadix in the Geopark, until it reaches the capital, Grenade.
