As we make our way back on the other side of the river there are fantastic views of the surrounding areas and we then come to the Área Recreativa de Castril.

Note: The GPX time is the time on the GPX file. The GPX might not be accurate if during the walk the walkers went for a meal for example. Naismith is a formula based on distance and elevation.
