The route begins next to the EX-110 road at the foot of Luna Castle, along the La Codosera path, and shortly after, you will come across the Pilar fountain and watering trough. Leaving the concrete behind, you will walk through a narrow street between stone walls until you reach the Zarza fountain, an old laundry area where a pilgrimage used to take place around a disappeared hermitage of the same name. Continue along the Cierva path, gradually leaving behind the trees to make way for shrubland, until you reach the Cabanillas farmhouse. Once past it, turn northwest onto the Toriles de Cuellar path, starting the ascent parallel to the line of elevations that form the Picorros. From this point, you will begin to see the meanders of the Guadarranque River, which collects the waters from the Alburquerque wastelands to pour them into the Gévora River. This river is included in the Natura 2000 Network as a special conservation area (ZEC Upper Gévora River) and a special protection area for birds (SPA Birth of the Gévora River), and it is home to fish species such as calandinos, pardillas, jarabugos, or colmillejas. The area also offers a walk alongside ash trees, alders, brooms, and oleanders, where you may have the chance, especially when reaching the Puertos del Guadarranque, to witness the flight of griffon vultures or Bonelli's eagles. The route continues to the paved Pino path, which you will follow for 2.5 kilometers towards Alburquerque before leaving it for the cañada boyal and taking the Escarapón narrow street, an old cattle transit route recovered for hiking, which advances among cork oaks until reaching the EX-110 road. From that point, you will see a nearby rocky outcrop with a crowned cross; on the south face of it, you will find the schematic paintings of the Risco de San Blas shelter, discovered in the early 20th century and dating back 5,000 years. Finally, the route crosses Alburquerque, giving you the opportunity to explore its Gothic-Jewish Quarter or "Villa Adentro" along with Luna Castle (13th-15th century), declared a Cultural Interest Property with the category of Historical Ensemble in 1998.
