The route

Signposted MTB route through El Campichuelo, the area of high plateaus and valleys north of Cuenca, between the Alcarria conquense and the Serranía. It runs on forest tracks and farm tracks between pine woods, junipers and cereal fields, with the odd stretch of local road to link villages. It's a route to take at an easy pace, with short climbs out of the valleys and open plateau sections exposed to the wind. Bring water from home and refill at the fountains in the villages you pass: bars open little outside summer and weekends. In winter the shaded tracks can freeze; the best time is April to June and autumn. Hunting season runs from October to February: respect the signs.
