Cerro Gimio.

You depart from the village to the valley of the Arroyo De Malcevino. A nicely paved path takes you to this beautiful river. You follow the stream for a short while and at the Puente de Piedra you start to climb. You arrive at a crossing of paths where a beautiful picnic area has been set up. From here you will go back and forth to the top Cima Cerro Gimio at an altitude of 374 meters. Here you have a beautiful view of the valley of the Tagus and the famous rock Salto Del Gitano. You can often see griffon vultures or black vultures soaring here. When you are back at the intersection, walk back and forth through a mixed forest to the bridge over the Arroyo Barbaon at Puente del Horquillo. On the trail to the Puente del Horquillo, you'll almost certainly spot red deer up close if you're quiet. These animals are not hunted in the Monfragüe National Park, which makes them less shy. Back at the intersection you now descend to the Arroyo De Malcevino, you cross the bridge and you now go back to Villareal along the flank of the Lugar Nuevo.
