Highlight • Mountain Pass
It is located within the Despeñaperros natural park, a protected space, excavated by the Despeñaperros river. Resting after the good climb, you can enjoy the typical flora of the entire Sierra Morena, especially holm oaks, cork oaks and pines.

El Empedraillo
Highlight • Historical Site
The curious thing is that it is in the middle of nowhere and perhaps at some point it was much larger than what we can now enjoy, because it only measures a couple of hundred meters.
In any case, it is a vestige of the past that is well worth observing, preserving and stepping on, since very relevant historical events took place on those same stones, such as the battle of Las Navas de Tolosa that took place in these places back in 1212.

Ancient Roman Road
Highlight • Historical Site
The fact of thinking that this ground has been trodden on before by hundreds of thousands of people, including soldiers, various royalties... plunges me into the past.
It is highly recommended to stop and reflect on the historical past of this road of Roman origin.
