Once again, we will start and finish at the Municipal Sports Centre. On this route, we will pass through the hamlet of El Puerto de la Encina and return by road. Approximately halfway along the route, we will encounter a fairly significant climb.
We leave the Municipal Sports Centre and head towards the Saucejo road. Before the bridge on the A-92, there is an electrical substation, where we turn right to enter the Vereda de la Calderona. We follow this path for a long stretch and, after passing the Arroyo del Peinado, we enter an area that floods and becomes difficult to navigate in winter. We continue on to connect with the Vereda de la Puebla a Cañete. At the Cortijo de Agujetero Alto, we turn right to re-enter the Vereda de la Calderona.
We continue on until we reach a crossroads from where we can see the ‘Cortijo de la Calderona’. We will head towards it down a slope between young olive trees. Take care, as there is a chain across the path at the bottom.
We climb up to the beautiful Cortijo de la Calderona farmhouse. Once we pass it, we look for a track between the olive trees to enter the pine-covered hillside that leads to Arroyo del Término stream. After passing the farmhouse and crossing the stream, we may encounter areas that are difficult to cycle through and confusing.
Once we have crossed the stream, we will make a tough climb up to the Cortijo de Rejano, and continue climbing until we reach the SE-466 road (Carretera del Pinarejo). Here, we suggest turning left, which will take us to Puerto de la Encina, although you can also turn right and climb up to Pinarejo or continue on to the Corbones Reservoir and back.
Once past Puerto de la Encina, we descend along the road, passing Cortijo del Tabaquero and crossing Arroyo del Peinado again further on. We continue along the asphalt road to return to Osuna.
