We will find numerous cortijos, some standing and others in ruins, faithful examples of popular architecture. As we advance our journey, we are shown forests of majestic pine trees, authentic sabinars, dense riverside forests in the streams and centuries-old examples of oak trees and complaints.

ROTOMETER:

Km 0.0. Departure.In the square of the Constitution of Hinojares (x = 500190; and = 4174475), at the height of the Fountain of the Frogs, we put the CK at 0.0 and we left the village upwards, on the street of the Church, towards the road of Tícar (A-6206).

Km 1.5 Cross of the Tranco de la Zorra (x = 501180; and = 4175910).In the stop we put the CK at 0.0 and turn left.

Km 1,1. Cuenca cross (x = 501825, and = 4175910).We left the main road, to turn right.

Km 3.7. Cuenca (x = 502725; and = 4176830).We park the car in the Consultorio, to visit the Birth of Seven Fuentes and the village; to reach the remains of the fortress and medieval village of the Castellones de Cuenca is complicated, but on the return to the main road, as we pass the last houses of the village, we can see the enclave on the other side of the ravine. When we reach the A-6206, in the stop we put the CK at 0.0 and turn right.

Km 10.2. Belerda Cross (x = 498490; and = 4180130).We're still on the front, direction Quesada. Another option is to turn left to visit The Casillas of Don Pedro and Las Belerdas and return back to this point, where we will follow left; the next point is 0.3 km.

Km 10.5. Entry into the Water Cave (x = 498220; and = 4180260).We turn left; 300 m away are the parking and access to a great open oquedad, crossed by the Arroyo de Tiscar, proposed as a Natural Monument; on leaving to the main road we turn left, to visit the Sanctuary and Castle of Peña Negra. We return to the A-6206, direction Quesada and to the entrance of the Vadillo Road (x = 498015; and = 4180895) we put the CK at 0.0.

Km. 4.8. Port of Tiscar (x = 496675; and = 4182345).We left the car in a space that we found on the right of the road, to go up, taking a walk, to the Atalaya del Infante Don Enrique (13th century) that is enabled as a lookout; behind the tower, the Picón del Rayal (1,834 m.), in the form of a colossal wave; "rayal" was synonymous with "border" in the Reconquista.

Km. 13.5. Quesada (x = 494160; and = 4188735).Here we can visit the Arc of the Saints, the Arc of the Maquita of Utrera, the remains of the Arab Alcazaba, the two churches and the Museum of Rafael Zabaleta.

The look at La Morra de Los Canalizos (km 31) has tables to eat. A little further we found the crosses to Hornos el Viejo and La Plantera. It is highly advisable to turn around this last village, with its scattered population and large oaks, and even down to the Tranco reservoir, to take a relaxing walk along its margin.

In the impressive Mirabuenos lookout (km 35) the views change quite a lot: from the humanized landscape of the previous lookout, with extensive olive areas and numerous cortijos and villages, we go to the vast panoramic high mountain, where the large forests dominate.

The view of Las Huelguecillas (km 36), which has tables to eat, is on an extensive promontory, and thanks to its situation as a small "peninsula" aerial we enjoy a very wide panoramic in all directions.

The Pradillos lookout (km) is the last and has a special charm for being at 1,340 m of altitude. This section of the A-317 ends when it stops climbing. You'll find a crossing and you'll have two options. If you keep going, you'll go to Pontoons and the birth of the Segura. You will find a livestock landscape, with very clear views. If you choose to turn left, you will enter a more forest landscape. You can complete your route in a circular way by returning to the Hornos de Segura on the roads of La Suma and la Garganta (A-317a).

Among the options we propose to you:

Km 0. Caraway. The best way to enjoy Cazorla is to get lost in the streets of the old town and to discover some of its wonders, but on this occasion we propose some forced visits: the Plaza de Santa María, the Castle of the Yedra and some churches such as that of the Carmen or San Francisco of Renaissance style.

Km 1.5. The Iruela.Here we propose to stop you again, leave the car by the road and walk up one of the steep streets that lead to the castle that was owned by the Templars. From above you will have a beautiful view of the Guadalquivir depression. Next to the castle you can also visit the Church of Santo Domingo - and know the details of its foundation and history. Back in the car you will enjoy slimmed streets full of flowers that cheer the view.

Km 12. Air Pass lookout.We go up the road that leads us to the Natural Park and to say goodbye to the countryside, nothing better than to stop at this Mirador and enjoy its views. From here we change villages, castles and olive trees to valleys, rivers and mountains.

Km 13. Viewer of the Port of the Doves (1200 m).The landscape changes dramatically. You will find a great panoramic view of the Alto Valle del Guadalquivir, surrounded by beautiful mountains, including the Poyos de la Mesa on the right, unmistakable by its steep cliffs. It is also a good point to observe rapacious birds such as the royal eagle or the leonate vulture.

Km 16. Valley splash.In fact, the Valley Empalme is not a stop but a crossroads. We can turn left and descend to Cold Arroyo, but at this point we will follow the right-hand option following the JF-7092 road that leads us to the Utrero Clock.

Km 19.5. Closed from the Utrel. 3.5 Km from the Empalme del Valle you can reach a bridge over the Guadalquivir River. At this point we have to leave the car. Here begins a circular route of approximately 45 minutes that we will walk. It is a charming walk next to a Guadalquivir that is going to fit in and that later receives the surprise from the air of the stream of Linarejos. Impossible.

Km 23. Valley splash.Back to the road crossing we now continue on the right, following the A-319 road towards Cold Arroyo.

Km 30. Cold Arroyo.At this point in the road we can visit the Ethnographic Museum of Arts and Customs of the Natural Park. Cold Arroyo is also a good place to take something or make some unexpected purchase.

Km 33. Tejina Recreative Area.A stop on the way to rest, relax and eat outdoors if that's your choice.

Km 40. Vinagre Tower.This is certainly a strategic place within the Park because of it some of the routes that will take you to places as famous as the Cerrada de Elias or the Laguna de Valdeazores. At this point there are also a number of facilities that allow you to know the Park. You will find information about this extraordinary enclave in the area "Passeos por el Valle."

You can take advantage of this stretch of road to close a car circuit with the Miradores Route and the Hornos Grain road. If you want to walk, we recommend the public road that goes east in the direction of the village of Cabeza Gorda passing through the old forest house of the Fuente del Chorro, which passes through dense pine forests.

We will walk through a varied landscape of low and half mountain, between olive groves and masses of carrasco and black pine with abundant Mediterranean forest, spilled by beautiful walnuts, complaints and pineapples. We can also see well-preserved river vegetation.

Between the Dehesa del Oso and Villarrodrigo there are long sections from which we will enjoy a wide range of views of all theNatural Park. In the vicinity of Villarrodrigo you can see the last eastern foothills of Sierra Morena and the transition landscape formed by dehesas.

The corvids, such as the lard and the corneas, as well as the boar, are abundant. In the area of the Cambrón there is an interesting colony of leonate vulture.

The name of the place is due to the presence of an ancient 15th-century monastery of the Order of the Augustine first, and after the Basilios, which is linked to the existence of these springs. With the deamortization of Mendizabal it went to agricultural uses, until today.
The water allowed the development of orchards in the area for centuries surrounded by olive trees, vineyards and cereals. This source today feeds several pools that serve for the irrigation of fruit, orchards and olive groves, as well as keeping a humid ecosystem in its surroundings. It is a historic birch of cattle flocks and wild fauna in the area.

This enclave is located just over 1 km away. of the city centre of Martos, at the foot of the road of Martos to Santiago de Calatrava. It occupies an extension of 84 hectares., with 5,394 centenary trees, some of them, true living sculptures. It is a fully productive olive tree with an average of 150 kg. By tree.

The ruins of the castle are impressive because of its elevated situation and the remains of houses and rooms made in tapial that are around it. From above you can observe much of the valley and see, right in front, the castle of Segura and a little below the Arab towers of Santa Catalina and Orcera. We suggest that you walk through the forest track that links this village with that of El Tobazo, by forest track with very little level marked for hiking like GR-146.
