Trail description

The trail starts in the square of Erjos (in the municipality of Los Silos), by the TF-82 road. Cross it to reach Calle Las Cruces and take the path that leads you onto an earth track. Some 500 yards further ahead, the track ventures into the woodland. The trail carries on towards the northwest for another 3 km (1.85 miles), out onto the eastern slopes of the El Palmar Valley. There, the Monteverde greenery clears away to reveal terraced farmland. The last stretch is predominantly rural, with two branches joining the main trail to El Palmar, either via Las Huertas or via Las Lagunetas.
