DESCRIPTION
The route begins on the Cuesta de Mirabueno road, on the Llanos de Arance track, and has a linear round-trip section and a circular section. The route begins 4.6 km from the A-319 road, right on a closed track on our right. This track, in continuous ascent, takes us through the three types of pine forests that exist in the Park (Aleppo, Negral and Laricio pines) as we gain altitude, but we must highlight the magnificent oak forest that we cross halfway up.
We will be able to refresh ourselves in the Fuente del Roble, which gives its name to the initial area, and at the crossroads of the road to the Archites, at km. 6.7, we will have to turn to the right at first to do a round trip. Later, when we return, we will continue our route along the path to the left. The linear section has great attractions, such as an old vulture trough located at km 7.2, or the Majal Alto guardhouse with impressive views of the entire Banderillas massif and the Guadalquivir Valley (km 9.1 ). Once Majal Alto is crowned and after a brief descent we will continue ascending to reach first the village of Las Canalejas and then Los Centenares, two of the towns that were left uninhabited with the creation of the National Reserve of Cazorla y Segura in 1960.
From Los Centenares we started the return by the same way until we reached km 4.6, where we took the track of the Archites, another of the farmhouses inhabited in their day, where they also took advantage of the closest lands to cultivate all kinds of cereals, and which are now mostly forest land.
Finally, continuing the track in continuous descent we reach the edge of the Tranco Reservoir, just in front of the Island of Cabeza de la Viña, in the place known as Puente de Hierro. We turn left there to skirt the level of the reservoir. We will leave on our right the ruins of the Bujaraiza castle and the plain of the same name, well known as the scene of the bellowing, the combats that take place every year in September between male deer in their mating season. Finally we arrive at the Mirabueno viewpoint on the Guadalquivir River and just 300 m from the starting point.
