The Mountains Toledo was rediscovered in each visit. There is always a new wrinkle in the landscape, a new way to explore, or a historical relic and worth seeing monumental visit.
The following 4x4 route runs near the town of Toledo Navahermosa.
start the route by getting out of the CM-401 Highway down a runway in good condition, though with some difficult obstacle point, we approach the first point of interest of the day, Torcón Reservoir.
The water level peaked and touched so many tracks and paths surrounding the reservoir were completely flooded. Specifically in our departure we could not go around, so we had to return to our tracks to reach the area of \u200b\u200bthe dam, where we found that the dam was draining into the deep and beautiful gorge that forms the Arroyo del Torcón.
continued the march for a whole lot of tracks, and some were very deteriorated state of the ruts, mud, and water flows so generously favored by seasonal rainfall, and Of course, we also had the opportunity to overcome several fords that will bring great fun.
The second point of interest visited during the day was the Castle of Two Sisters, whose location, perched on a steep set a stunning cliff views and extraordinary. This fortress is one of the oldest in the province of Toledo, as it is dated between the eleventh and twelfth centuries. It was certainly a major supporter of the Arab stronghold natural border of the Montes de Toledo.
We take this beautiful and unique place for regain strength before continuing our route offroad, heading now towards the remains of the ancient desert of Malamoneda near Hontanar.
is an archaeological site consisting mainly of habitat, burial and military structures for phases Hispano, Visigoth, Muslim, Christian medieval high and low, and a desert from the late sixteenth to the twentieth century where it appears as Malamonedilla called.
From all this it the most remarkable and striking are the numerous anthropomorphic graves scattered across the landscape carved into the rock and the remains of a impressive medieval tower and a castle in ruins, about 500 meters from the main body.
An enclave of extraordinary interest, not only for its historical character, but by the stunning natural environment on which it stands.
enjoyed a good spell of this place before going on the final leg of our route off-road, in the colorful development of Cedeno, walk back to the CM-401 road, about where we put an end to this intense and fun day .
