Where to start

At the Los Callejones car park, reached along the forest road from Las Majadas to the CM-2105: just over 2.5 km along, the track branches left.

The route

This is the short educational circuit through the Callejones de Las Majadas: dolostone passages, the bogaces, opened by water dissolving rock, among blocks and tormos, isolated rock towers, of many different shapes.

Difficulty and time

About 3.6 km and an hour and a half, easy. There are no springs on the route: take water. For a longer walk, PR-CU 28, a short-distance trail, reaches Los Callejones from the village.

Before you set out

Do not leave the trail: it is easy to get lost among the rocks, and the stone is slippery when damp.
