Loop
This trail connects the towns of Guijo de Granadilla and Oliva de Plasencia, passing through the Roman city of Cáparra.
The trail is marked and signposted all the way (except for the Ahigal Reservoir, where there are no signs). Just continue along the border of the reservoir until you see the BTT-2 markings again, which then continue to the end of the trail.
The trail is simple, with no technical difficulties to speak of.
We start at “The Ring” Sports Innovation Centre. We pass the “Gabriel y Galán” Reservoir road and follow the BTT-2 signs.
We skirt the Ahigal Reservoir and head towards the village of Ahigal. We pass through Ahigal and take a right turn at the intersection onto a dirt bath that runs through olive groves until we reach Guijo de Granadilla, where we’ll make a short stop to photograph the house-museum of the illustrious poet, José María Gabriel y Galán.
We’ll continue on a paved trail and then turn left onto a dirt trail. A few metres ahead we’ll come to a gate, which we’ll open and close behind us. From there, we’ll continue along the trail until it intersects with the initial section of the route, which overlaps with this stretch.
We continue along the Gabriel y Galán Reservoir road back to the starting point: “The Ring” Sports Innovation Centre.
