NATURE

If you want to be in the Nature, there are paths to walk around. The path along the river has more shade, it’s an amazing feeling listening to the birds and the river flowing in its flow, the wispering of the trees and the smell of fresh air.

The longer path offers you the view of Alarcón in its beginnig. The shocking of the castle crowning the villa, the meanders of the river, agriculture lands, and the sky.
