Beautiful straight road out of Aras de Los Olmos

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Just a bloody lovely road that disappears into the Serranos. Mind-boggling but you will hardly see a soul out here.

La Yesa

Highlight • Settlement

La Yesa is a small village in the Los Serranos region, surrounded by mountains covered with holm oaks and pine forests, ideal for leisurely hikes with beautiful views of the mountains and even the sea on clear days. Its attractions include the Church of Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles, several chapels, and monumental trees such as the Carrasca Tumbada and the Pino Sombrero. The surrounding area offers trails through natural sites such as El Carrascal and El Castellar, with archaeological remains. To replenish your energy, there's nothing better than trying "Olla de pueblo" (village pot), a hearty rice dish with beans and turnips, typical of the area.

Medieval Aqueduct of Alpuente

Highlight • Monument

The Los Arcos aqueduct, located in Alpuente, is a 16th and 17th-century hydraulic structure that supplied water to the town and its orchards. With its thirteen pointed arches and a length of 265 meters, the arcade bridged the uneven level of the Reguero River, although the main arch was lost in a flood in 1880. Today, it is preserved as a Site of Cultural Interest and can be easily visited from the road to La Yesa. It is an interesting spot for combining history and hiking; good footwear is recommended to explore the surroundings.

Its historic center preserves remains of walls, towers, and the medieval castle, as well as an interesting paleontological museum with dinosaur fossils. From the town, you can take a 46-kilometer trail that connects its numerous villages, a good option for exploring its natural and rural surroundings.
