Very interesting... especially routes in autumn and spring when it rains so that the transit through the sands of the pine forests is not so complicated.

In summer, in any case, we cross it without any problem. It covers about 15 cm.

In summer it can be nice to get your feet wet. For the rest of the year, I would consider it. Peter can carry quite a bit of water.

Nava de la Asunción is a Spanish municipality and town in the province of Segovia. Originally known as Nava de Coca, it belonged to the village and land community. Later, in 1773, King Carlos III granted it the title of Villa and added “La Asunción” to its name, in honor of the Virgin, patron saint of the town. I hope you found this brief description interesting! 😊

On the route of the Via Verde Valle del Eresma, at kilometer 49 towards Medina del Campo, and passing through Nava de la Asunción, a stop is mandatory for the walker or cyclist in consideration of what meets his gaze at this point. It is striking to come across figures carved in wood that represent the direction of the winds to stay where they blow. They reflect the knowledge that education provides to people to free them from the constraints of economic and religious systems that can limit freedom, folk stories, storks that open doors to information, birds of prey that pay homage to resin craftsmanship, life in a game of chess, fantasy turtles, greyhounds and hares and tubs of water tuned with sentences to read and analyze their content. In short, they are eleven works of art that invite us to reflect on the environment, with social messages, It is the work of many hours of dedication, taking advantage of the days of the pandemic and occupying the mind in offering the landscape an artistic aspect that serves as a call to attention for the inhabitants of Nava, to form a team of volunteers who take on the commitment to take care of the over five hundred tree and shrub plantations that cover the six hundred meters of this Greenway route. This is the objective desired by the author of the sculptures, Manuel Frías Trampal. “It is environmental awareness to enjoy a welcoming natural landscape over time. To do this, you just need to sponsor any of the planted tree species and dedicate your name to it. You don't need to sign up to any list, you just need to decide to sponsor and care for the plant with watering and weeding,” says the forestry engineer and professor at the School of Forestry Foremen in Coca.
