Colada de Valdepeñas
Description
The excursion leaves Charilla, a village of Alcalá la Real, and lasts about 2 and a half hours. In the Plaza Real you take the Calle de la Fuente that leads to the outskirts of the village, where it becomes a lane of land. After about 5 minutes of march another lane appears to the left. From this point on, the route is always close to the route of a pecuary road, the old Colada de Valdepeñas.

Technical Description
Once an altozane is reached, the panorama opens and an era serves as an unconventional lookout. Shortly after and already practically horizontal, the lane draws a recess next to the abrevadero of a semi-noise cortijo.
After the ruins, the pecuary road is diverted by a less obvious road that goes back a small uncamped ravine. When you reach the highest area you have to turn back, now to the left and on the path that borders the olive tree. A short time later, he will be in a lane that will go to a crossing.
The road on the left is fork right away. The left branch will be where it returns and the other one goes down in the direction of the Cortijo de Nogueruelas. After passing through the buildings, it goes back up to a hill where another cortijo is located.
At this point you must cross the access gate to a cherry plantation, and leave two lanes to the left. Shortly before the olive tree starts a path that goes up to the hill, just at the foot of Cerro La Martina and the breakers where the route ends.
To return, it descends on the same path to the first cortijo, for this time to take the lane on the right that runs on half a hillside.
