Hiking and walks

The well-marked PR-A 100 runs from La Toba to Miller. It offers exceptional views over the Segura Valley and also provides access to the Zumeta Valley. Trail conditions can change; check them before setting out.

A walk through Miller’s streets and neighborhoods leads to waterfalls, irrigation channels, livestock watering troughs, wash areas and fountains. Unlike the PR-A 100, which runs from La Toba to Miller, this walk focuses on individual water features and architectural details in the village.

Springs, rivers and mills

There are more than twenty springs in the vicinity of Miller. At Las Juntas de Miller, the Zumeta and the Segura meet. Together, these places illustrate different connections to water: numerous springs in the surrounding area and the confluence of two rivers at a named location.

Water and terrain also play a role in the history of the mills. Miller’s abundant water and steep terrain led to the construction of several grain mills. The grain mill in Miller and the olive mill each stand beside a waterfall. Olive groves at higher elevations are also part of Miller’s landscape. The mills thus represent an earlier use of water, while the olive groves show another aspect of the area’s agriculture.

Miller and the Zumeta Valley

The area around Miller and the entire Zumeta Valley are among the most remote and least-known areas of the natural park. This perspective differs from the details of the village: it extends from the specific location to the landscape of the entire valley. When planning your trip, you can therefore decide whether you would rather focus on Miller’s buildings and water features or explore the wider natural environment.

Church, festival and fortification

The Church of Santa Isabel was built by the people of Miller in 1857. Inside, it has a wooden choir and a wooden ceiling. The year it was built provides a historical reference, while the wooden features add specific details about the interior architecture.

The Casa Fuerte de Miller retains a three-storey tower and parts of its walls. It is considered an important early fortification in the province of Jaén. The distinction is evident in the architectural features: Santa Isabel is associated with a specific construction date and wooden interior features, while the tower and wall sections identify the Casa Fuerte as a fortification.

The celebrations in honor of Saint Isabel take place in Miller in July, around July 8. Specific program details may vary from year to year. If you are planning to travel for the festival, check the dates for the relevant year.
