Acojeja: Wine Tradition, Hiking Trails and Canarian Houses

Acojeja is home to the Lagar de Acojeja, a building dating from the mid-19th century. It was used by farmers in the Isoran medianías to produce wine. Due to the economic conditions of its time, it was created as shared infrastructure.

Culture

Well-preserved traditional Canarian houses are part of the townscape. Another detail offers a glimpse into everyday life in the past: the wood-fired oven of El Choro in Acojeja was used to bake bread and other food. The wood-fired oven is located beside the road that climbs from Acojeja towards the mountains. You can read these details as independent historical reference points without reducing them to a single use.

Hiking

The “Sendas del Vino: Las Fuentes–Acojeja” route is a hiking trail that conveys the history of winegrowing in the municipality. It is five kilometres long and has a moderate difficulty level. The route leads through El Choro to Acojeja, where the lagar is located. Those who wish to organise trails by theme, length and difficulty can consider these characteristics separately rather than mixing different route descriptions.

Nature

From the surroundings of Acojeja, a paved road that turns into an unpaved track leads to the hiking trails of Montaña de Tejina. In the surroundings of Acojeja, Montaña de Tejina is home to special plant species such as Balillo, Jócamo and Cerrajón. The information about the trail surface and the plant names offers two different ways of reading the landscape: through the course of a route and through its botanical features.

For your own planning, you can deliberately consider the themes side by side: culture, wine, nature and climbing represent different ways of looking at Acojeja. The trail descriptions provide different formats and details for this, while the local details record individual names and uses. Keeping them separate makes the historical, landscape and sporting aspects clearly distinguishable.

A linear hiking route from Guía de Isora to Acojeja ends at a bus stop on the main road. The linear route format and the stated endpoint provide a separate orientation point alongside the wine route.

When comparing a holiday apartment in Acojeja, check the travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions on the respective offer pages. For choosing a location, you can consider culture, trails, nature and climbing as separate focuses and compare the information for the individual offers alongside them.

Climbing

In Guaria, a distinctive climbing ethic combines sport climbing, traditional climbing and routes for self-belaying. Guaria has sport climbing routes that are in some cases more than 35 metres high. The stated activity and time details can be considered separately for your own planning. Access to the Guaria climbing sector leads via the steep ascent from El Choro; from the area of the last houses, the walk takes 15 minutes to the foot of the rock face.
