La Mesada track

For this route we will take the Osuna Municipal Sports Center as the starting and ending point. It is a journey in which we are going to find constant ups and downs. We started the route at the sports center and headed to the Las Vegas Industrial Estate, we took the “SE-715” highway (Lantejuela-Ojuelos highway), which in this case coincides with the “Marchena real sidewalk”. We continue along the road and cross over the line of the railway using the existing bridge, shortly after we will find the “Arroyo del Peinado” that we must cross and continue along the road. After passing under two more bridges we must turn left to enter the “Vereda del Alcaparral”.

Once located on this sidewalk we must cross the “Arroyo del Alamillo” to reach the “Cortijo Los Arenosos”, we will see a fork in the sidewalks, we keep to the left to continue on the “Sidewalk of the Master” until we reach another intersection again of roads where we must follow the “Vereda del Urraco” until we find them with the “A-92” highway. To cross the highway we must turn right taking the service lane and turn left to take the bridge that crosses over the highway, once crossed we take the service lane that we will find and to continue along the “Vereda del Urraco” we must take the first path that we see on our right from the service lane.

Among olive trees we will arrive at the ruins of the “Cortijo del Urraco” where we begin to climb, connecting with the “Camino del Cuervo” which leads us to the “Vereda de la Puebla a Cañete”. We continue until we reach the “Cortijo de Mesada” at this time we are at the highest point of the route.

We leave the “Cortijo de Mesada” and as soon as we can we turn along the first path that we see to the left to continue along the “Vereda de la Calderona”, we continue crossing the “Arroyo del Agujetero” with some caution since the area is usually flooded in the rainy season. If we continue we meet again with the Arroyo del Peinado” which we cross again and shortly after we also cross the “Arroyo del Saltillo”. To end the tour we continue straight on the path and we will arrive again at Osuna.

There are multiple variants, you can go back along the Port highway without taking the “Vereda de la Calderona”, advisable when it has recently rained, you can also make it shorter by returning from Urraco to Osuna along the “Camino de Urraco” or starting the route down this same path.
