A recovered historic path

The footpath starts in Milmarcos, one of the most monumental villages in the Señorío, with its historic architectural ensemble. It proceeds without major elevation changes along a broad, fast-walking track until reaching the stretch where the ancient trail to Jaraba, the neighbouring Aragonese town, has been restored. Here you enter Mediterranean woodland and scrub typical of the Castilian plateau.

What to see

Several scenic viewpoints and a detour to the Pila del Embudo, a distinctive sculpted rock formation. Suitable year-round; in summer, early morning starts are recommended.
