Time: Four hours.
The walking tour will be very pleasant, relaxed and peaceful.
Just opposite Navalcaballo´s house there is a fountain and a bit
to its right, there is a lane descending by the hill , soft at first and
steeper farther, which leads to Montesino´s nursery breeding ground,
nowadays a youth camp, a bit farther we shall meet the river Madera and
walk down on its right bank.
First we shall walk past an elm grove and farther past a pine grove where
there is a camping site called Los Negros. Still walking on along the
right bank we shall arrive at the "Río Madera" youth camp.
Several brooksflow into the river, specially one that descends quickly
through a vertical wall into the left bank.
Finally the forest becomes less thick willows and poplars, and many deer
and other mammals come to drink in this stretch of the river.
soon we shall meet the water of the river Segura, still shallow but already
quick. Huelga Utrera forest-house is here.
