Las Banderillas

Las Banderillas is a 1993 meter summit in the Sierra de Segura with rocky western cliffs dropping sharply and gentler eastern slopes. The peak sits within a forested landscape crossed by multiple hiking trails of varying difficulty.

The mountain belongs to the Pre-baetic System, a geological formation that shapes southern Spain's landscape. This mountain range developed over millions of years through tectonic movement that created the region's present-day structure.

The peak serves as a natural landmark within Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas Natural Park, contributing to the region's environmental heritage.

Hiking to the summit requires sturdy footwear and weather protection, as mountain conditions can change quickly. A forest fire prevention station near the top provides basic support for visitors exploring the surrounding area.

From the western cliffs, you can look down simultaneously into the Aguamulas River valley and toward La Campana Brook, offering a rare view of two water features at once. This overlook is often overlooked by guides but ranks among the most striking aspects of the location.
