Short and completely flat path that runs through an area of pine forest and riverside, between the Arroyo Sangujero and the Eresma River, southeast of the town of Hornillos de Eresma. The path runs along the riverbank forest associated with the Eresma River, to the Medina Bridge or Puente Viejo, and then crosses an area of pine forests on a blanket of sand, where the stone pine (Pinus pinea) dominates with the presence of the resin pine (Pinus pinaster).
Starting from the Plaza Mayor de Hornillos we descend until we cross the Arroyo de Sangujero. We enter the winery area that runs along the eastern edge of the town center and continue south until we reach a first pine forest area and then travel along a path parallel to the road. We turn east to head towards the bottom of the Eresma River Valley, which offers us an excellent formation of riverside vegetation with the presence of small river beaches close to the trail.
Shortly, we will reach the Mediana Bridge, where we find an information panel. From here we will continue in a southwest direction through the Cañadas Reales (Drovers' road) de Cáceres and, after crossing the road, we will enter a pine forest area. At 1.3 km from the road junction, we will turn, leaving Cañadas Reales (Drovers' road), to head back to Hornillos de Eresma , always inside the pine forest.
