This route runs through the northeastern part of the Natural Park. It’s entirely on a path, so it’s perfect to do either on foot or mountain bike. The landscape is a mix between meadows, oak trees and beech trees in the shadier areas. Set off from Casa del Monte and follow the same path as in the previous trail. After about 700 meters you’ll reach a fork in the road. Continue toward the area called Casa de Tío Mero until you reach the junction. Since it’s a circular route, if you take the path to the left, you will do the trail clockwise; if you continue straight, you’ll do it counter-clockwise. The path goes uphill until you reach a place called Las Palancas; from this point on, the path is downhill. If you pay close attention, you may see deer, foxes, or strange invertebrates like the Alpine longhorn beetle (Rosalia alpina) or the stag beetle (Lucanus cervus).
