OBSERVATIONS

This path is flanked by cattle ranches.

​

The trail begins in this old mining enclave (a slagheap - escorial - is an accumulation of slag or mining waste), which is accessed by the JV-5002 road. We start at a junction of this road next to a corral by the track or unpaved road JF-5004.
​
In this area, we observe cattle ranches, and we will see how the landscape changes, turning the terrain into a more rugged Mediterranean forest, with species of scrubland such as jarales and small holm oaks. In the middle section of this path, we see a granite landscape that looks like a human whim. It is easy to see deer and wild boar in the shade in the harsh summer heat, approaching the small streams where they quench their thirst.
​
The orography is incidental, finding cantuesales, thyme and marjoram, with some foot of sticky cistus and garbancillos, until arriving at the Jandula Reservoir where we will find a small shade of eucalyptus.
