Inside there is a figure of a Crucified Christ as well as a Cross Way that was donated by the marriage Mr José Martínez García and Mr María Velasco Czech in 1989. It was rebuilt in 1984.

Behind the Palace is a house that was once a hermitage of St. John the Baptist: it retains the structure of the 17th's conventual gates, a small swordsman and, of course, remarkable paving as the tradition of Jabalfifth commands.

They are found on the stony and slope slopes, forming clear forests in which they coexist with some pine of several species (Pinus nigra salzmannii, Pinus pinaster and Pinus halepensis), according to the altitude and orientation of the slope, as well as cornicabra (Pistacia terebinthus), ruscos (Ruscus aculeatus) and a herbaceous entourage such as charts, rompesacos and cerveres (Poa bulbosa, Cynosurus echinatus, Aegilops, and the acrachacellus (Arrachacus), and the acellus (Arrachatus), and the other (Arrachus).

From the Recreative Area of Linarejos, we walk along the track that goes up the hill. We will go through a quarry and a barrier, these are two indicators that confirm that we are on the right track. At 3 km from the Recreative Area we will see a detour to our left, a track that enters us into a rock maze. It is a torque, in which this formation of oaks and juniper is extended. Two leads are coming out to our left, one after the other, and they both get us into this torcal. If we do not want to go too far, because it is a difficult ground to go through, from the main track we see this plant formation in the same way.

Our goal is to see one of the most spectacular oak trees in the Park, where we will see large, very large oak trees and a forest of tale. Give the place where we left the car, we continue on foot on the track about 6 km. The rise is easy and uncomplicated.

We'll get to a crossroads, we'll follow right. A little higher, a source is intuited under an oak. For that place, to the right of the track and above the source we will find large copies of oak, although in reality we have been walking through a magnificent oak for a long time. The crossing of the track is where the old forest house of the Fountain del Roble was. This is where the burning reaches all its magnificence.

In this forest dominated by the oak we find some other complaint (Quercus faginea), serbals (Sorbus domestica), pespejones (Sorbus torinlis), majuelos (Crataegus monogina), skirmishes (Rosa spp.), laureolas (Daphne laureola), thorns (Berberis vulgaris australis), torvizcos (Daphne gidium), peonies or mountain roses (Paeonia broteroi), orchids (Orchis, the dominant, Chiphiphipis, and the contiguera (Ophanacteria), and the domineas.

In our saws we can see many oak forests. For example, on the rise to Santiago de la Sword from Tobos, on the Esperilla, before Fuente Steel, or on the access track to the Pegueras. The name of engraving has meant Mediterranean forest, but the matter is not so simple.

Rather, we should say that burning is a phase of the Mediterranean forest. The lauroid forest, which we discussed elsewhere, is also Mediterranean forest. In any case, the engraving does exist as such, in addition to the fact that its main component, the encin (Quercus ilex ballota), is in almost all the plant formations of the Park, with the exception of the summits and the cold deciduous forests, of the high mountain.

LOCATION

From Coto Ríos we take the road A-319 towards the Tranco and less than a kilometer away to the right towards the campsite of the Llanos de Arance. We overcome it and follow it (the road becomes a forest track), until it reaches the control of Aguamula. As we pass it we follow the track to the left, discarding another one to the right, from here we will travel the right margin of the Tranco reservoir. We take the first detour to be presented to our right at 2.1 km from the above control. It is a great crossing where the track is widened and where we must turn to our right making a closed curve that places us almost 180º to the sense of our march. This is the track that goes up to Majalalto, passing through the Fountain del Roble. In that place we left the vehicle, as the track is closed to traffic with a chain.

It is an elongated plateau in the north-south-west sense that presents in all directions abrupt slopes. It has dimensions of 500 meters on its longest axis, about 270 meters on the narrowest side and an area of about 10 hectares.

Archaeologists especially highlight their landscape values with an indigenous vegetation of oak and other species of the Mediterranean mountain.

The site has been the subject of some limited archaeological interventions and the general lines of a Master Plan to address the comprehensive treatment of the site from research and protection to dissemination and value, even though only progress was made in this regard.

The realization in Cabeza Baja of an emergency excavation in 1986, motivated by the increase and extension of the archaeological expolio, offered a series of key archaeological data to define the entity of the site. The data obtained in the excavation indicate that the oppidum of Cabeza Baja de Encina Hermosa is founded between the end of the third century BC and the mid-second century and develops a population that must follow the typical Iberian urbanism of the Alto Guadalquivir.

The first continued occupation of Cabeza Baja (early S.II and final of the S.III BC) was probably by contingents of tubular origin arrived from Obulco, although no other nuclei such as Iponoba, Tucci or even the Iberian nuclei of Alcalá la Real should be excluded. The excavations pointed to the existence of various structures; the existence of an Iberian wall around the plateau was demonstrated. The thickness of the wall can be estimated at 3 meters.

The finding of a level of fire was identified as a possible cause of the abandonment of these units.

The reservoir is mainly nourished by the waters of the Guadalquivir, it has almost 500 cubic meters of capacity and 1500 hectares of surface. Much of it was previously occupied by the beautiful Vega de Hornos and the Guadalquivir valley.

We suggest...

The Tranco road is usually quite busy on dates of greater tourist influx, so, if you really want to enjoy the landscape, do not agree to look at it from the car and stop for a while at the dam or at some viewpoint, as usual. Our advice is: walk. On the right bank, you have several forest tracks, as well as the circular signposted path PR-A 149, which begins very close to the village of Fuente la Higuera. On the left, there are two signposted paths: the PR-A 193, which starts 1.1 km from the Tranco dam to the north, and a stretch of the GR-144, which is taken halfway between the Hornos de Segura and Cañada Morales, in a pronounced curve. In addition, in the environment of the reservoir you will not find many earrings.
