Practical tips
Very exposed to the sun, especially the first half: carry enough water and avoid the hottest hours. The second half follows a quiet local road.
Along the way
Hontanas
Hidden in a valley, it appears suddenly when you are almost on top of it.

Convento de San Antón
The road passes under the arches of a ruined 14th-century convent of the Antonine order, which cared for victims of 'Saint Anthony's fire' (ergotism). Their symbol was the Tau cross.
