Tour 13 – Walk to Casares about 5.5 km

Nice walk – starting from Finca Alamo. The walk is just over 13 km long in total. As a hike, it is best suited if you get freight back from Casares to Finca Alamo.

The tour follows part of the same route as Tour 4, but starts at Venta Garcia (where Tour 5 ends)

The route runs on good and varying surfaces, firm, gravel, paths and grass. Between route points 6 and 7 there are some sections that can be a little demanding with steep and poor surfaces. However, this only applies to a small part of the tour.

You’ll also enter Casares and can choose to explore some of the city.

Crossing at Venta Garcia

Nice walk down here from Finca Alamo. You’ll find it a little to the left of the house you can see in the background of the picture.

Cross 3

Here you come up the road you see on the far left and continue on the one we see going to the right. The one in the middle goes to a private property. The road where the photo was taken is part of Tour 5.

Route point 6 Narrower and steeper

Route point 7 Lowest point of the tour

Here you cross a stream/river. If the water flow is high, you may get your legs a little wet. But usually it is easy to cross.

Route point 8 Junction 4

At this intersection you will reach a road with a solid surface. Follow the road gently to the right.

Cross 5

Here you continue straight ahead. However, a detour to the left is recommended. It’s a round trip that enters the route a little further on. Then you will see the memorial “Fosa común del Cerro de la horca” – a mass grave from the Spanish Civil War (pictured left here) There was a rebellion in Casares that led to many deaths.

Cross 6

At this junction you will meet your route again if you take the detour to Fosa común Cerro de la Horca

Soon Casares

As you approach Casares, there are several roads leading up to the main road back to Finca Alamo. We recommend taking the road through the city center and then up to the main road (cycling against the direction of travel is permitted according to the sign).

City center of Casares

Feel free to make a stop in the city center, e.g. at the café located on the small square. Or take a trip up to the ruins and the church and enjoy the view.
