On the way through the Záncara we find this mill at the foot of the river that shows us what a building of this type looked like in this area of the province of Castilla la Mancha.

The Castillo de Garcimuñoz gives its name to the town itself and is the most impressive element in the center at the point you reach the town. Basically since it sticks out from the rest of the houses in the village!

Cuenca town on the banks of the Rus River. Vestiges of the Bronze Age have been found, which detonates the antiquity of these populated areas. You can visit the church with Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance elements and the hermitage of Ermita de la Virgen del Trascastillo, from the 16th century.

A small municipality in Cuenca with low, white houses. The most important point is the parish church of the Assumption from the 16th century. If you have more time for a walk, 3 km to the northeast of this town is the Pino Lorito area, a hundred-year-old tree with a 40-meter crown, one of the most impressive bicentennial pines in Castilla-La Mancha.

Beautiful population that has a name with origins of what this nucleus had been. Of Arabic origin, Alberca means pond and Zancara, the bank that is close to the town itself.

One of the towns in this area of the south of the province that has more history behind it. You can see it when you walk through its streets and buildings. Mandatory stop!

A nucleus that is located in the middle of two hills through which the Río Rus flows and where on one of these hills we can find the Ermita Virgen del Trascastillo, which can be seen from the same road. Of course, if you want to go up there, with a road bike it's complicated!
