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 features a variety of species, such as holm oaks, gall oaks, willows, and poplars. As we explore the natural landscapes of Guadalajara, we will provide information about everything we encounter.

During the hike, expect to see small mammals like genets, wildcats, and badgers. The route is approximately 13 kilometers long and leads us to Civica, a village carved into the rock.

This abandoned site includes caves, terraces, arches, and passages that showcase architectural features in the Alcarria. You will learn about the history of this recent construction by Don Aurelio, and we'll share the story of Civica.

At the end of the tour, we will return to the starting point in Yela, with a total duration of around 4 hours.
