The route enters the Vegas del Jarama Greenway, and the journey takes on a completely new emotional state thanks to the serenity of the environment and the comfort of the road surface. The route of the old mining train runs through the dehesas or rañas of the Ruecas River valley, undisturbed, passing over several viaducts that span the river's meanders. From time to time, the old stations and halts appear, half-ruined and abandoned. The villages are off the track, and to get supplies or water, you have to detour several kilometers. Madrigalejo is the closest and most recommended town; it is three kilometers from the old local station and has shops and all kinds of services. The Greenway gradually enters a new landscape. The meadows of the Vegas Altas fade, and the curious "Appalachian" reliefs of Las Villuercas emerge, shaped by parallel ridges of slate and schist that appear to have been pounded and kneaded by a geological sculptor. Some authors have compared them to the Appalachian Mountains of North America and declared the Villuercas-Ibores-Jara Global Geopark by UNESCO. The Greenway ends at the old Logrosán station, and a new section of the Las Villuercas Nature Trail GR-116 begins, leading to La Puebla de Guadalupe. The pedaling pace slows due to the condition of the road surface, but it remains an impeccable cycle route. From Logrosán onward, the original route of the old railway is no longer maintained; the trail markers appear on rural roads and on some isolated stretches of the old railway used by local farmers. The Camino reaches the hamlet of Cañamero via the Santa Ana chapel and runs through the town center, famous for its Vegas del Guadiana Designation of Origin wines, made from mountain vines grown on rugged slate slopes. The exit from Cañamero is spectacular and somewhat unsettling, following the path of the Ruecas canyon. Pay attention on the descent; there's a short trial. It then continues along farm roads to the climb to the Martín Blasco pass, a good stretch before tackling the final stretch of the day through the solitary mountains of Las Villuercas and ending in Guadalupe, passing once again through the arch of the old mining railway, the last reminder of a project that confounded the era; it was built almost a hundred years before it was used.

Cañamero, in the province of Cáceres, Extremadura, is a charming destination that combines history, culture and nature. You can explore the church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán and the hermitage of Nuestra Señora de Belén, which are examples of local religious architecture.

Zorita is a Spanish town and municipality, in the province of Cáceres, autonomous community of Extremadura. It belongs to the judicial district of Logrosán and the Zona Centro community. Zorita sits on a flat terrain with some alterations such as Monte de la Peña or Monte de la Cabeza del Águila. It is worth noting the steep slopes in an important part of the municipal area, which are sometimes greater than 20%. The evolution followed by the population of Zorita is very similar to that of other Extremaduran municipalities. Although its growth was gradual until the middle of the century, from that date onwards the general movement was towards decline. Emigration has hit this town so hard that it has managed, in just over 10 years, to reduce its numbers by half. If in 1950 Zorita had 6,482 inhabitants, in 1970 this figure was 3,627. Currently, the population tends to stabilize, trying to overcome the significant decline of those years. Heritage: St. Paul Parish Church. Hermitage of Fuente Santa and Temple from the 17th century. The Pareños of Malillo.

Population that is located to the north of the Sierra del Pimpollar and to the south of the Sierra de Belén and that is known for being part of the type of pitarra wines, since the vineyards that are in the municipal area are part of the denomination of origin of the Ribera del Guadiana.
