The town of Romancos is the starting point for the beautiful trail La Vega and La Alcarria Romanqueña (PR-GU 10) in the shape of an 8. The trail runs around the outskirts of the town, passing through an area of varied vegetation. After the first section, the route continues through the Alcarria area, the highest and flattest part of the route. In the town we find an information panel about the route and its attractions, flora and fauna.

The old mesteñas ravines were the communication highways that crossed the Iberian Peninsula from the mountains and moors of the northern half, the Pyrenees, the Iberian System and the Cantabrian Mountains to the warm winter pastures of Extremadura and Andalusia. The purpose of the cattle trails was the movement of transhumant cattle, but with the herds and shepherds they also traveled for more than five centuries, news, customs and thoughts that made cattle ranching and the wool trade, with all its derivatives, a first class economic resource. The Cañada Real Soriana Oriental is one of the nine main ravines established by the Council of the Mesta, and also the longest, in total it has more than 800 kilometers between the mountains of the Soria region of Tierras Altas and the city of Seville.

The next section to the streets of Berninches can be done directly along the road or take a detour that leaves the fertile plain to the left and reaches the town along an agricultural track. The track of the route indicates the dirt road to a bridge over the Arles stream and goes up the steep alleys of the town. The streets are staggered on the slope of Mount Las Matas and show a striking medieval distribution. The Plaza Mayor is large and welcoming, surprising such a wide space in a narrow and steep street, on one side is the impressive Church of the Asunción, from the 16th century, a beautiful fountain with two spouts, the pediment and in the center an elm which has replaced a previous one who died of graphiosis. The route leaves the town along the road and turns off along a rural road that passes through the striking Torreón de Berninches, a curious geodesic vertex placed on the pingorota of a formidable stone tower between cereal fields.
