Real de la Jara – Path El Batrocal – Path Arroyo de la víbora

We start the route in the town of Real de la Jara in the Sierra Norte de Sevilla. And we are about to do the trail PR-A 391 Camino del Betrocal. It is a simple path, perfectly signposted and very colorful with perfectly differentiated parts.

We leave along the track that takes us to the Batrocal house, which gives its name to the path, allowing us to enjoy the landscape made up of extensive pastures of quercinas (cork oaks and holm oaks) dotted with aromatic plants.

The track ends when you reach the Rivera de Cala, it is the second part of the route and perfectly differentiated from the previous one. Here we partially join the GR-48 Sendero de Sierra Morena, but we always follow the indications of the PR-A 391 that takes us along the beautiful Rivera de Cala to its recreational area and the Interpretation Center.

We cross the A-5301 road and continue along the riverbank until we reach the junction of the Arroyo de la Víbora. This point is the limit of three provinces. Huelva, Badajoz and Seville.

We continue along the Arroyo de la Víbora path, this is the third part of the route. It is equally colorful as the Rivera de Cala and takes us to the gates of the Monastery, Badajoz, where we climb a few meters to see the ruins of the Castillo de Las Torres up close, dating from the 15th or 16th century. Now we are sharing the track with the GR-100 Vía de la Plata, (Stage 4: Almadén de la Plata – Monesterio) and after a small climb it takes us down to Real de la Jara, where we make a detour to go up to the Castillo del Real de la Jara built at the end of the 14th century by King Sancho IV, and which has been perfectly renovated.

Then we go back down to Real de la Jara and eat something sharing space with the hikers of the Vía de la Plata.
