The cycle trip continues along the lane of the Jacobean route until it connects with the Cebreros highway. The route continues along the side of the road, passing through the popular port of Arrebatacapas and another descent to Cebreros, a mountain town with a wine-growing tradition that would be a good place to finish the second stage when organized as a three-day trip. The Camino de Levante descends from the port along a mountain path that is quite technical and difficult by bicycle, suitable for trail experts and everyone can choose. The path begins next to the port sign and ends where the road enters the urban complex. The track goes down the road, crosses the town and continues the descent along the old Camino Real de Toledo, used by the funeral procession of Isabel la Católica when they carried her remains from Medina del Campo to Granada. At the Cebreros exit there are remains of the old medieval road and on the Alberche River there are the monumental bridges of Valsordo and Santa Yusta, used since Roman times, although they have undergone several reconstructions throughout history. The climb coincides with the last arrows of the Camino de Levante and deviates through the Puente Nuevo urbanization towards San Martín de Valdeiglesias, following the markings of the GR-10 long-distance path, with several hard ramps on the Camino de la Aliseda.

In the Alberche Valley there is this beautiful bridge that crosses the Río Becedas and is of Roman origin made with stones from the area. It's worth getting there!

The San Gregorio Trail ends at the El Regajo recreational area. The trail crosses directly the forest track and enters the most famous chestnut grove in Alto Alberche. Along the way there is an information booth and information panels where the short-distance path PR-AV 54 begins, which runs through the forest in a circular itinerary. The environment changes completely, the previous pine forest gives way to a uniform mass of chestnut trees with some hundred-year-old and monumental specimens, such as the ancient chestnut tree known as El Abuelo, near the Majalavilla Refuge. The route goes up between the chestnut trees and at the first fork it continues straight ahead. The PR-AV 54 path continues to the right towards the Majalavilla Refuge.

Imposing chestnut tree that is the main attraction of the Castañar de El Tiemblo. It is affectionately known as "El Abuelo" and it is about a much loved tree in the area, it is estimated that it must be 525 years old. But of course, 5 centuries do not pass in vain. Shepherds used to shelter from storms until fairly recently inside its huge hollow trunk and it looks like someone set a fire near it and it's a bit charred. Still, he remains imposing and his "children" grow strong around it.
