Route decription

This is a circular route connecting the villages of Alquézar, Buera and Colungo. The bicycle path follows large parts of the walking track, some of them quite steep, especially around the Vero River and the Ramillar Canyon. Other parts consist of gentle slopes and are practically flat in the Sierra Alta Plateau and the surroundings of Buera and Colungo.

The route gives us the opportunity to visit the village of Buera, in which we will find beautiful paved patios and to discover the nearby Santa María de Dulcis Sanctuary and the olive forest.

We can also discover Colungo, a gateway to the prehistoric universe of the Rio Vero Cultural Park, Unesco World Heritage Listed. Along the path we are greeted by typical Somontano landscapes and spectacular views of Alquezar and the Sierra.

Description route

This is a circular route joining the villages of Alquezar, San Pelegrin and Radiquero. The circuit, which starts and finishes in Alquezar, mainly consists of dirt paths, alternating between gentle and steep slopes. Cyclists are greeted by a mosaic of Mediterranean cultivation whilst enjoying spectacular views of Alquezar as well as the rock faces of the canyon and of the mountain foothills, under the watchful eyes of birds of prey in the Guara walls, a perfect sanctuary.

Whilst going through the village of San Pelegrín, one will be surprised by its small parish church from the 18th century, built with limestone and by its sculptured wayside cross. Radiquero, surrounded by olive, almond and wine plantation, offers us to discover its village, at the foothills of the Sierra de Sevil.

Route description

Starting in Alberuela de Laliena, the route runs along the old GR-1 hiking trail until it reaches the neighbouring village of Radiquero. From there it skirts the foot of an area of high ground known as O Coronazo and leads up to the small village of San Pelegrín, where several houses border a square overlooked by a stone cross.
The route continues to lead upwards, running along the old path to the Sevil refuge, at which point it drops down again  to Alberuela de Laliena, partly following the trail herdsmen used to take in summertime when leading livestock to the high pasturelands of the Pyrenees.

The route was once frequented by shepherds, traders and wayfarers who used to bring down ice from the ice wells in summer, and also by local people as they flocked on pilgrimage to the nearby hermitage of La Viña.
