LONG DESCRIPTION

This circular route starts in the small, charming village of Aldeire. Walking clockwise, we begin with a steep uphill section as we make our way up through the Umbría del Tío Calvo to the Castillo de Aldeire, or the Castillo de la Caba, as it is also known. The next uphill section is gentler and we continue on up through La Rosandra to the Mirador de Aldeire. For the next 4km, we walk gently uphill before following the track down to El horcajo and the beginning of the Río Benéjar. We then make our way back to the village, through the Área Recreativa and along the track parallel to the river.
