ROUTE

The route begins in the cubo forest house, crossing the central track and heading towards the recreational area next to the Benazaire stream, which is crossed through the pedestrian footbridge, after which a path parallel to the river descends, until arriving to the Azud de la Pretura. We will follow the path above the course of the stream. Once in the Pretura you can see a cliff, at the top of which there is a demolished Castillon and pre-Romanesque ruins. We will return to the starting point taking the same route, but in the opposite direction.
