Travellers will have the chance to explore Burguillo Reservoir and admire the Guisando Stone Bulls, a fine example of Celtic culture, as well as breathtakingly beautiful scenery, such as the Hoyocasero Pine Forest, and the traditional architecture of the towns of Cebreros and Burgohondo.
This route also includes the following sites of interest: Castañar de El Tiemblo and the Adolfo Suárez and the Transition Museum in Cebreros.
