Very rolling track along a section of the Via de la Plata. Near Real de la Jara you can see an old ruined fortress.

a very romantic route, past the Castillo de las Torres. It was built in the 13th century by knights of the Santiago Order and probably served to secure the travel and pasture path and as a hostel for pilgrims. Today it is home to countless storks, who have an overview of the journey from their nests.
