セビレハデラジャラのおすすめツーリングルート

The Huso River Valley and tunnel, in El Campillo de la Jara (Toledo), are part of the route of the Vía Verde de la Jara, a spectacular route that takes advantage of the old railway line that was never inaugurated.

The easiest option is to climb up the shoulder of the road and, in the village, rejoin the Villuercas Nature Trail to the Santa Quiteria station, the start/finish of the Jara Greenway. There are no specific cycling route signs for the next section; it is essential to follow the track. The route runs along the foothills of the Altamira mountain range and the Rincón del Torozo Microreserve through holm oak forests, crosses the mountain range through Puerto del Rey, and descends to the Cíjara reservoir dam, one of the large artificial lakes on the middle course of the Guadiana River and the border between Cáceres and Badajoz. The cycle tour connects with the Guadiana Nature Trail at the dam and continues along the Castilblanco Trail. The rideability is good, but the road surface is quite rocky, and the rattling on the gravel bike can be tiring. With wide, tubeless tires, you can lower the tire pressure a bit to pedal more comfortably and quickly on this section, enjoying the authentic and evocative atmosphere of Extremadura's Siberia, especially as you pass the Cíjara Palace, a 19th-century rural mansion with a certain air of a military fortress in a setting of profound desolation on the banks of the reservoir. The stage ends on a pleasant rural road that leads to the lively town of Herrera del Duque, capital of the Cíjara community in Northern Siberia.
