Pilgrimage Route to Guadalupe
Visitors should follow the N-502 highway all the way to Castiblanco, where the CCV-151 rural path can be taken. The walk continues to Santiago Valley, where the ruins of Visigoth Shrine can be found. Before arriving at Almansa manor the visitor will cross two bridges over meadows and the Guadiana River.
Following that, we find ourselves along the eco-path of the Guadalupejo River, an official bird sanctuary.
This second part ends at Gallanías Peak. Following the descent, the path reaches Guadalupe. Before getting there, however, visitors can enjoy the views of the Guadalupejo River and its headwaters, flowing calmly along a riverbank dotted with ash and aspen trees.
Navas Mountain Range Route
Visitors can start their route on the Las Navas trail, located on the N-502 highway and offering a 4-mile walk. The main highlights of this route are the Pelochejo Creek, the crossroads of the pilgrimage path to Guadalupe and the Navas Mountain Pass with its breathtaking views.
Visitors will also come across an old bridge, built in the Middle Ages with brick, stones, and the adobe remains from several mills.
