Bécares Village

Highlight • Settlement

sleepy village between great climbs ...

Tip by

14.0 km

At the foot of the Sierra de los Filabres, looking towards the Almanzora basin, is this small farming and livestock town. Before the Moorish revolts of 1568, the economic activity of Bayarque was based on obtaining silk, dry and irrigated agriculture, olive trees and vineyards. In the 19th century and until the middle of the 20th there was some mining activity but finally the town gradually became depopulated.

El Cantaril Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

The “El Cantaril” Gorge has a distance of less than 10 km and is included as a variant of the Serón PR-A 335 Panoramic Trail, classified as a short-distance trail.

This variant connects to Bacares ALP-407 street or the old Menas road, going down the path following an irrigation ditch until it meets the Bolonor river ravine, from there, through a footbridge, you cross and continue along the path until you reach to the paved path in La Alconaiza, where it connects again with the PR-A 335 panoramic path.

With this path variant, shared use is intended for both hikers, mountain bikers and equestrians (as far as possible). The sustainability of the trails, the rationality and efficiency of the resources used are criteria that are present in this trail, which guarantees environmental and economic sustainability.

Another of the objectives is to promote the natural resources of the municipality, which are closely linked to the development strategy of the Municipality of Serón.
