Quejigares de Barriopedro & Brihuega Hiking Tour

Enjoy the beautiful nature of the Alcarria with this hiking route through the natural area of Quejigares de Barriopedro & Brihuega. You'll also visit a very special place called Cívica.

Description

We'll meet at Plaza Iglesia in Yela at the designated time. From there, we'll start this hiking route through the Quejigares de Barriopedro & Brihuega.

Located in the valley of the central stretch of the Tajuña River, this protected wooded area boasts a great variety of species, such as holm oaks, gall oaks, willows and poplars. As you take in the natural landscapes of the province of Guadalajara, we'll share interesting facts about everything we see.

During the hiking route, you'll also see small mammals that live in the area, like genets, wildcats and badgers. The route, about 13 kilometers long, will take us to Civica, a village carved into the rock.

This abandoned place features caves, terraces, arches and passages that create an architectural site in the Alcarria. Here, you'll learn about the history of this recent construction by Don Aurelio and the story of Civica.

At the end of the tour, we'll return to the starting point in Yela, arriving after a total of about 4 hours.
