The spa seen from above

The PR-CU 90, a PR (short-distance trail), climbs from El Tobar to La Muela, descends along the Arroyo de Mingoluño and reaches a first viewpoint above the Iberian hillfort of the Castillo de los Siete Condes. It continues along the cliffs to the Puntal de la Cruz: from here, below, is the Real Balneario de Solán de Cabras, with a history reaching back to Roman times. The trail then descends the old Senda Real into the Cuervo gorge, with small tufa cascades.
