Although I later had to turn back because I couldn't cross the Cigüela River due to the amount of water it carried, this stretch between different species of trees and a blanket of yellow flowers makes it easy to enjoy nature.

I don't know how it is in a few others, but there is too much water to pass through that makes it necessary to take a detour.

Bird observatory near Alcazar de San Juan, very lively when I passed by. Shame I didn't have binoculars to watch the birds.

This is an artificial lake in the old Cigüela riverbed. It is a small wetland with a high landscape and natural value, in addition to the biological diversity of the lagoon environment, which welcomes migratory birds in passage and aquatic birds that live there occasionally.

This is a construction that began in 1950 and was inaugurated in 1952. It is located next to the Cigüela River, about 2 km from Puebla de Almoradiel, on land that used to be part of the Cañada Real Soriana. On May 15th, a pilgrimage is held that is very popular among the local residents.
