It is a comfortable route in the first sections that runs along a path in good condition but is complicated due to the slope of the descent to the stream of the House and that in this area the track of the path is lost so it is advisable to have the track of the trail downloaded on a GPS device. The route crosses the Casa stream on two occasions: the first, next to the mill, over a stone walkway that can become waterlogged during the rainy season and the second over a beautiful bridge of the s.. XIX.
The route begins in the pasture that surrounds Torrejón el Rubio, among holm oaks and broom, until we reach the stream of the Casa, where we will see wild olive trees and tamujos. During the tour we will be able to see large birds of prey such as Egyptian vultures, griffon vultures, black storks or small mammals such as polecats and mongoose.
