Easy About this route
During the journey we cover a section of the PR TE 7, another section of the GR160 (Camino del Cid), we cross the Palomarejos river on two occasions, pass by two hermitages (San Antonio and Los Mártires), numerous farmhouses, pens, medieval bridges and visit the surroundings of Las Minas. The route is easy to follow, with no major elevation changes, although it tends to rise in the first section (upon leaving the village) and in the last section that leads us to Las Minas. It is highly recommended to bring some food and plenty of drink, especially in the summer months.
We leave the Town Hall heading southwest, towards the Neighborhood of the Virgin of Carmen. Upon reaching the neighborhood of the Cubes, we turn right, following the PR TE 7. After 2 kilometers we reach the Alto de la Venta, the highest point of the route (1,015 m), from where we can enjoy panoramic views of the entire area. From here, the descent to the medieval bridge (5 km from the start) begins, where, a few meters before, we will turn left to climb to the site of Las Minas.
In this mining complex from the early 20th century, bituminous slate was extracted, from which, through distillation, oils used in chemical products and fuels were obtained. It is worth exploring the area and climbing to the base of the main chimney, from where the rest of the complex can be seen. Next to the Mines there is a youth camp, which usually hosts groups of young people during the summer.
Once the visit is over, we go back the same way to the medieval bridge, from where we start the return journey to Rubielos, crossing the A 1515 road and passing by the Hermitage of Los Mártires, during the section of the Camino del Cid. In the final stretch of the route, we will pass through several paved sections, where we must take extra precautions, especially when following the A232, which connects Rubielos de Mora with Mora de Rubielos.
Another route to enjoy nature and the constructions found along the way. Don't forget your camera!
