Between orchards and curtains, this path leads the walker along old cobbled paths to places that offer some of the most impressive perspectives of Las Arribes del Río Duero. Roads used since time immemorial by muleteers and carters who transported goods from Spain or Portugal to the La Barca dock to cross the river border and sell the products in the markets of the neighboring country. Border roads where neighbors, curious people, smugglers, businessmen also circulated, and ideas, languages and hopes were transported.
This trail is a 5 km circular route. with ups and downs that force the walker to make some small efforts more than compensated by the beauty of the landscape and the history of the path.
