Ruta local 5: Bosque de eucaliptos (corta)
5,5 km / 1 h
Esta es una de nuestras rutas favoritas, especialmente en primavera. El mapa dice que lleva 1 hora, pero hacer esta caminata de 5 kilómetros y medio puede llevar fácilmente una hora y media. El paisaje es simplemente asombroso, al pasar por prados y atravesar zona de bosque.
- Starting Point and Initial Path: The route starts in the plaza of El Caspio and enters the woods opposite the house. Follow the well-trodden path through the woods, heading straight on at the first crossroads of footpaths and then taking a right turn before you emerge on the road, in front of the turning taking you up to Brecín.
- Journey Through Brecín: In the upper left-hand corner of the hamlet, walk between the two hórreos, take the path between the two houses and head uphill into the woods. When you reach the woods, turn left and keep heading uphill. After 1 km, you will reach La Formiga.
- Path Beyond La Formiga: Pass behind the house and continue uphill, following the road to the right. After 400 metres, you will see the asphalt track turns off to the right. In front of you, there is a farm track heading slightly downhill. Take this path.
- Ridge Crossing and Eucalyptus Forest Entry: 100 metres later, the path splits. Take the left-hand path and cross the ridge. There are lovely views of valleys to the south and north at this point. Keep walking and you enter the eucalyptus forest.
- Descending Through the Eucalyptus Forest: 300 metres into the forest, the farm track meets an asphalt track. Take a right turn and head downhill, still in the eucalyptus forest. The steep hill continues for 600 metres until you emerge on a narrow road.
- Approaching La Roza: Take a left turn. In 300 metres, you will come to La Roza, a grand farmhouse with an equally grand stone-walled garden. To the left of the buildings, there is an entrance to the farm and a grass track to the left of the walled garden.
- Through the Woods to Busllería: Take this track through the woods and follow it, downhill for 400 metres. You will emerge in Busllería, a small hamlet. There is an asphalt track to the left of the houses which heads downhill. Take this track.
- Towards San Cristóbal's Church: In 700 metres, you will come to a fork in the road. Take a left following a sign to San Cristóbal's Church. Continue on the track past the church and keep walking straight on.
- Final Stretch Back to Plaza del Caspio: After about 100 metres, the road takes a sharp right and a few metres later there is a very sharp left. Take this track and follow it for 100 metres. Here there is a crossroads of farm tracks and footpaths. Take the footpath on the right that goes up into the woods. After 100 metres, there is a T-junction of footpaths. Take the right-hand path, and you will emerge from the woods where you started the walk, in Plaza del Caspio.
