Peralejos de las Truchas

A village shaped by the river

Peralejos sits in a valley bordered by the Tagus and the Cabrillas, and its history is bound to water. It was a village of gancheros, the men who each spring guided logs cut from the mountain pine forests downriver. Today it is a frequent stop for walking along the riverbank or sitting beside the water.

• The Herrería de los Morencos and the Martinete Bridge, heritage of iron and water.

Routes

It has a large network of marked trails: Sendero 11, Barranco del Horcajo, Georuta 7 towards Taravilla, Ruta BTT 3, La Muela, and the GR-10.

Planning your visit

Choose a riverside walk or the Horcajo canyon for the main excursion, leaving other locations for future visits.

Before travelling

Las Juntas, the Muela de Utiel, and the viewpoints are in the wider surroundings, not within the village stroll. Compare distance, elevation gain, and trailheads before choosing.

Combining visits

Continue with the Barranco del Horcajo. Check its guide to determine if it fits within the same trip.
