The end of the Casa del Cura route

The PR-CU 105, a PR (short-distance trail), leaves Valdemeca, climbs an old bridle path to the meadows of Casa del Cura, where transhumant livestock stayed in summer, and returns via Huerta de los Descalzos. Beyond the limestone cliffs of Las Cordilleras, on the descent, stands the viewpoint.

Opposite lies the Sierra de Valdemeca: siliceous rocks, its own microclimate and flora highly valued by the Park guide, with Erica australis heaths among the vegetation most important to conserve.
