DATA OF INTEREST
DESCRIPTION
This linear route is part of the Dos Bahías Green Corridor, which, starting from Puerto Real in the Bay of Cádiz, crosses the Los Alcornocales Natural Park, reaching the Bay of Algeciras.
The route that concerns us starts from the Barbate river, in the vicinity of Benalup-Casas Viejas and passing through the Wakanalake Camps nature classroom, crosses the Celemín reservoir. Once we reach the Las Lagunetas bridge, we can make a stop at the El Celemín recreational area, which is located about 500 meters along a pedestrian path on the other side of the river of the same name. From here the path runs very close to the river and later next to the Alisosos stream, in the municipality of Medina Sidonia. Continue along the Cañada Real de San Roque to Medina, which we will not abandon until the end of the route. But first, once we pass the Corchuelo pass (the highest point of our route) the path runs next to the Valdeinfierno stream, where we can access a beautiful path through the canute. If we continue, we pass through the Montera del Torero recreational area and very close to the beginning of the Valle de Ojén cycle path, where we cross the Palmones river for the first time, next to the Puente de Hierro, to later cross it again, before reaching the cortijo del Jaramillo, already in the municipality of Los Barrios.
This path ends here, although the two bays green corridor continues until it reaches very close to the bay of Algeciras.
- You do not need permission to access.
- On the route there are sections with steep slopes
- Please close the gates when passing private farms with livestock use.

HOW TO GET
Desde la carretera A2228, al salir de Benalup – Casas Viejas, a menos de un kilómetro a la derecha encontramos un carril que coincide con el corredor verde. Siguiendo las indicaciones, a 1,5 km antes de cruzar el río Barbate se encuentra el punto de inicio del carril cicloturista. (Las coordenadas UTM ETRS 89 30N son: X 249410,7 Y 4024567,0). Desde el otro extremo del sendero podemos iniciarlo junto a la venta el frenazo. En la salida 80 de la autovía A-381 y tomando la via de servicio en dirección a Jerez, a 1 km aproximadamente desde la rotonda, encontraremos un carril que cruza por debajo de la autovía y a unos 700 m. encontramos nuestro destino. (Las coordenadas UTM ETRS 89 30N son: X 273064,8 Y 4009465,5). En ambos extremos de este trazado existen sitios adecuados para aparcar, si bien no se tratan de aparcamientos señalizados.
