Easy This pleasant circular route of approximately 9.8 km starts from Villafranca de Córdoba and delves into the tranquil rural landscape surrounding the locality. The route runs along agricultural paths and easy tracks that allow you to enjoy the slow pace of the Córdoba countryside.
Along the itinerary, you cross cultivated areas, olive groves, and open fields, where it is common to observe local wildlife, especially hares, which give their name to the traditional Resting Place of the Hares, an ancient space linked to livestock routes where herds historically stopped during transhumance routes.

During the journey, wide views of the agricultural landscape of the Guadalquivir valley and the natural surroundings of Villafranca open up.
This is an ideal itinerary to connect with the Córdoba rural landscape, pedal between fields, and discover the livestock and agricultural history that has shaped this territory.
