We start this route at the Valuengo reservoir, an ideal place for fishing Barbel, Carp, Black-bass, Pardilla, and Boga. The Valuengo Reservoir Route can also be called the “Gafa” route, as its route consists of two circular circuits connected by a linear one. This route can be done in many ways; following the reservoir, entering the pasture, etc. There are many alternatives to explore it, but in any case, we will always have in mind the great Valuengo reservoir and the birds that find their refuge and natural habitat there; Common Bee-eater, Little Bittern, Common Snipe, Osprey, Northern Pintail, Mallard, and Teal, Common Sandpiper, Kentish Plover, White and Black Stork, Great Cormorant, Eurasian Coot, Squacco Heron and Cattle Egret, Imperial and Grey Heron, Gull, Crane, Grey Wagtail, Kingfisher, Water Rail, Red-crested Pochard, Common Pochard... among many others. In order to calmly contemplate the behavior and plumage of all these species, the route is equipped with a Faunal Observatory located on the banks of the reservoir in the area called Playa de las Vacas. Through this route, we discover typical farmhouses, such as Los Bolsiquillos, Santa María de Abajo, the estate of Las Conejeras..., large pastures that host cattle and pigs..., and hunting resources for both big and small game, highlighting species such as Partridge, Hare, Rabbit, and Wild Boar.
