DESCRIPTION

The path will allow us to access a wide variety of landscapes: holm oak forests, thorny scrub edges, reforestation of Aleppo and Laricio pines, olive, cherry and almond tree crops, and streams with riverbank trees. There are good views of the peaks surrounding Torres and a good number of bird species can be seen.

The path crosses the Zurreón waterfall, an attractive waterfall that is especially beautiful when it is cold and one of the few in the park. It also allows you to see the Almadén trails, one of the most characteristic geological manifestations of the sierra.

Starting from the Fuenmayor recreational area, we begin a path that ascends to the Zurreón waterfall one kilometre further on. Further on, this path offers us beautiful panoramic views of Torres and the cultivated landscape that unfolds around this town and ends up introducing us to a narrow path surrounded by cherry, persimmon and olive trees.

From this path we can easily link up with the end of the Puerto de la Mata uphill path, a pass from which we will enjoy beautiful views of the magnificent Mata Bejid pastureland, completely different from the ones that accompanied us.
