At the edge of the small village of Zafrilla, we find an old washhouse, a fountain, and some barbecues used by the locals for leisure. Perhaps it could benefit from some shade to keep the sun out directly.

This section is before reaching Zafrilla and before and after it. I confess that the slope is tough and, especially if you do it on a hot day, you will have to take refuge (as was my case) in the shadows of the few scrubland trees to cope with the difficulty.

A small town in the province of Cuenca with a very small population, barely 30 residents. It is located in the Serranía Baja region of the province of Cuenca and is just six kilometers from the town of Huerta del Marquesado.

Just as we leave Zafrilla heading towards the mountains, as well as leaving the asphalt road, we cross a ford of the village stream, along whose bank lies a stone bridge of possible Roman origin, although it is more likely of later date, but it is striking for its design and its fairly good state of preservation. It is currently closed to vehicle traffic.

We're in the town of Zafrilla, and in the lower part of the village, there's a spring or fountain near some old washhouses where women used to go to wash clothes. These are now preserved as a reminder of the past, although no one goes there to wash clothes anymore. There are also barbecues for spending a day outdoors.

Little is known about this church, which is in a lamentable state of preservation and is dedicated to Saint Bartholomew, but whose remains are most likely supported by another building of Muslim origin. It possibly dates back to the 16th or 17th century.
