This is a circular route, which starts at Tambor del Llano, and goes to the Cerro del Zurraque, surrounding it. If you want to take an hour and a half off the route, you can go by car to the well of Los Álamos, and from there follow the circular route. You can take the opportunity to see the ruins of the dolmen that exists there. You cross a small but beautiful torcal, and the Zurraque plain, a karstic depression with a really beautiful traditional farmhouse.

An excellent route to enjoy the beautiful scenery, among cork oak, wild olive and holm oak groves, crossing areas of great botanical and geological interest, with interesting traditional mountain livestock constructions, wells, small farmhouses, etc. It is a quick way to get into the Sierra de Libar, through little frequented areas, taking advantage of the network of cattle tracks, paths and public cords. Unfortunately it is not very well signposted, but using these applications, it is possible to do it without getting lost, if you are a little familiar with them.

Recommendations
Good footwear, water and walking stick. Take a picnic in the countryside. The plain of the Zurraque farmhouse, and the torcal that we cross after passing the Casa de la Gordilla (the old ruin of an inn), are particularly beautiful places to have lunch.
