On the way to La Herrería
The PR-CU 93, a PR (short-distance trail), links Carrascosa with its hamlet, Herrería de Santa Cristina, and the Infiernillo power station. It leaves past the communal washhouse along the traditional Santa Cristina path, climbs to Los Pimpollos and begins a long descent with two lookouts: Peña del Águila, above the Hoz Somera ravine, and Rocines, overlooking the Hoz de Tragavivos, Estrecho de Guijarro and Molino de Chincha reservoir.
The path then enters a narrow defile, crosses the Hoz Somera on the Puente de las Tobillas and reaches the first houses of La Herrería.
