MTB route - Sierra de Tormantos
Route
From Casas del Castañar we ascend to El Rabanillo Port along the old motorway. Once there, we descend half a mile along the motorway to take an uphill track that will lead us to Piornal. This is where our efforts will be rewarded with a descent of 1,640 ft that drops to Valdastillas along Camino Real road, passing over Los Molinos bridge at the foot of El Calderón waterfall. We keep descending as far as the IRYDA motorway that we take to the left for just over one mile, crossing Bonal ravine at the point known as Caozo Waterfall. On arriving at the motorway crossroads, we take a diversion to the right along a road as far as Valdastillas, passing its natural pool. We cross the locality and leave via a concrete track that, amid cherry tree fields, leads us to Cabrero and Casas del Castañar.
