An ideal route for nature lovers, with landscapes of Mediterranean scrubland, paths through rockroses and breathtaking views in a peaceful setting.

The route begins in the northern part of the village, near the Picazo and Roquedal housing estates, following a path that runs eastwards along the slopes of the Sierra de Hoyo mountain range.

The route runs parallel to the stone fence of the Las Viñas estate until it comes to a barrier and a crossroads. At this point the route continues to the left, a few metres further on there is a new barrier and a beacon marking the route (a beacon with a green arrow).

The route continues to the left along the road until it meets a path on the right that leads to a water tank, after a few metres it climbs up along a fence and crosses an area of rocky crags along a narrow path that runs between rockroses, A new path leads us to the M-618 road. On the other side of the road is another signpost and a path that leads to a crossroads and a brick-built sheepfold.

The route continues in a westerly direction, to the right, and a few metres further on there is another fork, the route continues to the left, descending towards the Rolinares stream and the stone bridge of the same name. Crossing this stream, continue to the left, and a few metres further on you will see a livestock vaccination centre, the route continues until you reach the road again. On the other side of the road there is another signpost indicating a path that climbs up through junipers, without turning off the road there is another signpost that turns right near a quarry.

Continuing along this path and without taking any detour you will reach a housing estate, the route descends towards the road where the control hut of the La Berzosa residential complex is located.
