One of the most outstanding routes is the Camino del Batrocal, an 11.5-kilometre loop that crosses pastures and the Rivera del Cala.

This route allows you to immerse yourself in the tranquillity of the environment, surrounded by nature and stunning views, before returning to the village along a sandy path.

For those who prefer shorter walks, the Sendero de los Dos Castillos is an ideal option. This 2 kilometre route starts at the El Real de la Jara castle and also allows you to visit the Las Torres castle in Monesterio (Badajoz).
