Guide to Request Permits for Hiking Trails in the Sierras Subbéticas Natural Park

If you plan to carry out activities in the Sierras Subbéticas Natural Park, especially on regulated trails or in restricted access areas, you may need to request a permit through the Junta de Andalucía's system. Follow these steps to easily process your application on the official platform.

1. Access the Platform

• Go to the official Junta de Andalucía website for managing quotas and permits:

• Make sure to use an updated browser to avoid compatibility issues

2. Select in the role of what you are going to request the permission

• The permission can be requested as active tourism and ecotourism companies, individuals or other entities

• By selecting the corresponding option, a page will appear where you can choose to log in with or without an electronic certificate. If you make the request from a device with an electronic certificate (computer or mobile), the process will be faster, as your personal information will be automatically filled in when you log in with the certificate.

• If you choose to log in without an electronic certificate, the next page will ask you to select a type of document. The available options include DNI, NIE, and "Other of the holder." If you have a European passport or another type of identification, you must select the "Other of the holder" option.

3. Select the Natural Park

• Once inside, the reservation form opens. The first option is to select the location, in our case, "Sierras Subbéticas Natural Park."

• Activity: Tiñosa Trail, Río Bailón Trail - Cycling, Río Bailón Trail - Hiking, or Enrique Muñoz Triano Trail.

• Itinerary: Choose the route where you will carry out the activity.

• Date: Select the date on which you want to do the trail. If the date appears in red, the day's quota is full, and you won't be able to do the trail on that day.

• Schedule: Select from the available times the one that suits you best.

• No. of Visitors: You can request permission for up to 10 visitors in a single application.

5. Attach the Required Documentation.

• In some cases, you will be asked to attach documents, such as:

  • A copy of your DNI or NIE.

  • Civil liability insurance (for organized groups).

  • Activity plan, if applicable.

6. Submit the request and confirm the reservation.
