(PR) SSMALL TOUR TRAIL:
Route PR-CC 18 La Solana Oak Wood
The Valley, “Living Agriculture”. The valley is “living agri- culture,” where the past and nature are constantly linked withchange and the future. Huge oak and chestnut tree woods appear mi- xed with cherry estates. The route shows us that this is an active field that is capable of offering fas- cinating pictures of a living agriculture.
We leave Barrado via the old road that descends to the left of the motorway. We cross El Obispo ravine via a bridge and the trail immediately turns left to take a track that goes uphill, deep into the oak wood. The track leads us to the high zone of the San Bernabé sierra and then to La Solana Oak Tree, monumental tree of Extremadura. A few feet further, we take the track that goes downhill to the left, bringing us to a zone of pasture and meadows. Via tracks amid orchards and estates with cherry trees, olive trees and vines, we cross El Obispo ravine by bridge until we take a paved road on the left, the Cuesta Way, that goes uphill and leads us to the starting point of the route.
