The Cañada Real Soriana Occidental is one of the old mestiño paths that best preserves the heritage of the pastoral culture of transhumance. The complete original layout is about 700 kilometers between Aldehuela de Calatañazor, in Soria, a place considered the beginning of the royal canyon, and Valverde de Leganés, in the Extremaduran province of Badajoz, passing through the mountain regions of Segovia, Ávila, Salamanca and Cáceres. The Council of the Mesta was created by Alfonso X el Sabio in 1273, granting remarkable privileges and powers to ranchers over farmers and peasants. The wool trade and the activities derived from transhumant livestock marked the economic, social and cultural impulse of Castilla y León for several centuries in the Middle Ages.
