At the beginning we follow paved inland roads with hardly any traffic.
During the ascent to Grazanes and the descent to Siempreverde we follow agricultural tracks and tractor tracks.
The most adventurous section is the shortcut from Siempreverde to Sirviella, an old “caleya” that has been converted into a path and includes a ford through the irrigation system.
It may be necessary to remove shoes and socks in order to cross it.
