After passing through the tunnel at the Autol station, you'll be greeted with the spectacular landscape of the Cidacos Valley. Get ready for the clay-colored cliffs, the castles, the cliff houses, and the green banks of the river. The detour to Préjano is worth it if you have the time, you'll find an old castle, impressive rock structures, remains of the old railway, and a small waterfall. Upon entering Arnedillo, you'll pass thorugh more impressive rock structures and end near the hot springs. Treat yourself to a drink and take in the sun and the views on a clear day.
