Fuente del Royo picnic area

Fuente del Royo is Huerta del Marquesado's second picnic area, 1.5 km from the village and 700 m beyond Prao de San Roque. It stands in a meadow among tall black pines and Portuguese oaks, with two springs and stone tables, without other equipment. PR-CU 39 reaches it through Dehesa de las Covatillas.

1.5 km from Huerta del Marquesado, about fifteen minutes on foot, along the same path as Prao de San Roque. A meadow among tall black pines and Portuguese oaks, with two springs and solid stone tables, and nothing else: fewer people, more quiet.

PR-CU 39, the short-distance Sendero de la Vega trail, reaches here after crossing Dehesa de las Covatillas and returns to the village via Piedra de San Roque.

Good conduct

The Town Council asks for particular care: this is a delicate place. There is nowhere for fires.

Frequently asked questions

What does it have?

Two springs and stone tables. No barbecues: it is the quiet alternative to Prao de San Roque.
