Mountain biking
An attractive route along the banks of the Estena River, a beautifully preserved riverbed. Besides the stunning scenery, you can admire typical Mediterranean vegetation (holm oaks, cork oaks, gall oaks, rock roses, etc.), riparian vegetation (ash, willows, etc.), northern trees such as yew and birch, remarkable geological formations created by erosion, and traces of the periods when this area was covered by the sea more than 400 million years ago, such as those of a giant sea worm. It is considered a Site of Geological Interest (geosite).

Mountain biking
The BA-050, also known as the Anchuras road, crosses the upper reaches of Cabañeros National Park along the Estena River basin. It traverses ridges and rocky outcrops dominated by Mediterranean forest, with alternating holm oaks, cork oaks, and gall oaks.
The road crosses the upper course of the Estena River, allowing drivers to enjoy the riverbed through pine and oak forests without leaving the main road.
