La Ratera track

For this route we take the Service Area as the starting point and the Municipal Sports Center as the end point. We will gradually ascend with a continuous up-down until we reach “El Cerro del Gomerón” and then end up descending in the final section.

We leave the Service Area and take the “Cañada Real de Écija a Teba”, we continue along it for approximately for 8 km, we will see a crossroads where we must take the path on the right called “Camino de los Corrales” that leads us until the “Cortijo de Juana Hidalgo” or “de Bejarano”, when we pass the cortijo we go off to the right through an always open gate and immediately we have to choose between two roads, we will choose the one on the left, a small slope.

We pass by the “Cortijo de la Dehesa de León” and we follow this path that runs between gorse and scrub for a long stretch, when we connect with some olive trees and the “Camino de Moreta”, we go to the right in search of the dehesa de Felipe Sánchez near the ruins of the “Rancho de Palmeña” and the “Cortijo de Benamazón”. We end up connecting with the “Camino del Palmeña”, this path leads us to the “A-451” (Carretera del Saucejo), we will take the road towards Osuna for about 400 meters and turn left to start the ascent to “Cortijo del Sol” along the “Camino de la Gomera a el Saucejo”, immediately after we passed by the Rancho del Gomerón and took the track of the wind farms.

Just when we start to descend we turn off into a small steep slope, to our left, now we take a path in the thicket of the mount called “Loma de Pérez”, through some beautiful places we descend until we reach the “Cortijo de la Ratera Nueva”, here we turn to the right to enter the “Vereda del Moralejo” through which we must continue until we reach a crossroads where we turn left.

We enter the “Cañada Real de Ronda” first crossing some areas with bulls and then a steep descent just past the “Rancho del Pescado”. We continue along this ravine, passing through the “Rancho de San lucas” and the “Cortijo del Vínculo”, and finally finally on the plain, arriving again at Osuna.
