A beautiful route is that of the Alquézar walkways.
An engineering marvel that allows us to enjoy this stunning and precious spot where the Vero River flows — the river that gives its name to the canyon it winds through.
This is a lovely route in autumn, with its brown, yellow, and ochre leaves and surrounding vegetation, contrasting with the crystal-clear, fresh waters.
Recommended for all ages and the whole family.
A circular trail clearly marked from within the village.
The path leading to the springs of Tamara and Puntillo is perfectly marked and signposted, so there is no confusion when following the route.
The track begins at the parking entrance, and just a few meters in we’ll find the first information signs. After skirting the parking lot from the upper side, toward an almond grove, we’ll get a complete panoramic view of the Alcanadre River as it pools near the Salto de Bierge.
We continue walking the same track until we reach a sign marking the beginning of the trail to the springs.
Along the way, you can enjoy stunning panoramic views of the canyon carved by the Alcanadre River through sandstone and conglomerate hills.
This landscape is dominated by the Huevo de Morrano and the Cabeza de Guara.
The trail passes through a Mediterranean forest of holm oaks and pines, as well as many ravines. When you reach Ceguero Canyon, at km 2.8, it’s worth descending into it to admire the impressive Puntillo spring.
After the visit, return to the main trail. From that point, it takes only about 25 minutes to reach the Tamara spring. This area has a large pool, perfect for cooling off during the hot summer months.
Before leaving, it’s worth enjoying the view from the heights of the rocks over the spectacular Fornazos narrows, and listening to the powerful sound of the cold water as it flows through the cavities carved in the limestone rock.
To return, you can retrace your steps or continue down the river until reaching the Puntillo spring, then take a left and climb back up to rejoin the original trail without having to cross the river.
After passing Asque, the path zigzags through olive groves and almond fields until reaching a gate marking the entrance to the Protected Natural Area of the Sierra y Cañones de Guara Natural Park.
From here, the track continues across scrubland, holm oaks, and low mountain vegetation.
Pay attention to the fork that descends steeply into the Regacéns canyon.
The mouth of the rock shelter is located across from the Fuente ravine. This wide breach seems to split the sierra in two, and from its sides you can see part of the hamlet of Alquézar.
In this shelter, with Levantine and schematic cave art, we can observe representations of goats and archers.
In the rocky walls, you may spot griffon vultures, Egyptian vultures, kites, peregrine falcons, golden eagles, and even the king of the skies of Guara — the bearded vulture (lammergeier).
Levantine Rock Art. The deer of the Chimiachas Ravine is one of the most beautiful examples of Prehistoric Art.
These artistic expressions from the Mediterranean area of the Iberian Peninsula are always found in shallow shelters exposed to sunlight. Their naturalistic style is admired for its expressive power and remarkable preservation.
The painting features a sharply outlined figure and an interior filled with flat tints in various shades of red.
