Description
Surrounded by the best pine larice pines in Spain, we find the cortijos and villages of the valley of the river Madera. Of the set we can highlight two: Prados de la Mesa and Arroyo Canales, because they are the most significant, although along the road you can see more cortijos and houses with meadows in which you will see farm animals and even some other pig, fed, all of them, naturally.
In the Prados de la Mesta, the gardens surrounding the houses are still cultivated, although at present only a few times of the year are inhabited. This way, the GR 147 is in the direction of the Anchos and we can see some examples of traditional architecture, forging bars, gilded walls or wooden doors burned by the sun.
A little below you can stop at Arroyo Canales, a place known as Rio Madera. You can't miss the last weekend of August to the San José parties with a small procession, music, dance and of course a mountain bowling.
