By Anna Las Majadas is a small municipality in the province of Cuenca , a quiet town with part of its territory in the Serranía de Cuenca Natural Park and the El Hosquillo Experimental Hunting Park. With such an environment, the hiking options are very numerous. And one of these options is the route through the Callejones de Las Majadas . Rural houses in Las Majadas This route begins in a parking lot that has been set up just three kilometers from the municipality. It is a very simple circular route, perfectly marked and suitable for the whole family. In fact, the little ones love to play and guess what the peculiar karst shapes that have formed the rocks that are scattered throughout the route look like. Windows, large mushrooms, elephant legs... You just have to let your imagination fly.

Its peculiar name is given because as you advance, the different karst rocks form a kind of alleys or passageways of different sizes. And this route is very special. In addition to having several information panels available to learn interesting information about the area, it is a perfect option to see how a Cell Phone Number List karst relief evolves since you can see in detail which surface has been hit by rain or which has suffered sand erosion. . And how were these alleys formed? Alleys of Las Majadas Alleys of Las Majadas. By diego_cue The process occurred in three distinct phases. Firstly, the water that circulates through the rocks, made up mainly of calcium and magnesium carbonate - its technical name is dolomite - manages to enlarge the fractures and form grooves. It is then that the second phase begins in which the grooves widen even more, dissolving a large part of the minerals in the dolomites, resulting in the peculiar alleys.
Already in the final phase, the labyrinth formation would come into play because due to the strong erosion process, the rocks disappear and only a few isolated monoliths remain. A dynamic landscape that transforms day by day and that surprises you at every step because, when you think that your retina has already seen the most amazing formation, you advance a few meters and you are left even more speechless by the spectacularity. This dynamism and the surprise factor give a very special touch to this corner of Cuenca that makes it unforgettable. Alleys of Las Majadas Alleys of Las Majadas. By diego_cue There are those who dare to say that it is a tiny Enchanted City . And, in a way, it is. Of course, much less crowded because it has less tourism. In some areas, the vegetation completely dresses these peculiar formations, increasing the photogenicity even more if possible and providing a magical touch. As this route is quite short, one more possibility to extend the day with the family in the middle of nature is to visit the El Hosquillo Hunting Park where you can enjoy animal species in the wild such as bears, deer or, with a little luck, wolves.
