| We will start our route from Torre de las Arcas, in the Center of Interpretation of Flora, located on the left bank of the Cabra river, and going up we will reach the hermitage Virgen de la Huerta, at a crossing point of paths. We will follow the uphill path on the left bank of the Cabra river to a noria and a pond which irrigates the "rodeno" canyons. Soon after this pond we will cross the river to the right bank, where lies a beautiful poplar wood. Along the path, several information boards can be found regarding the geological nature of the area and its points of interest. In about 20 minutes we will get to the recently reconstructed mill.
From the mill we will follow an old irrigation ditch to a ravine between the "rodeno" passages. The pines, ilexes and a holly tree - which gave the name to this ravine - together with the reddish sandstones make a lovely sight. An information board there is available.
After a short steep slope, which we will climb slowly while enjoying the landscape, we will get to the top. From there we will view the canyons from a different lookout, and then descend along a mild path - except for an area where the land presents high steps - which will take us back to the starting point. |
