Sierra de Montánchez (Cáceres). Circular route through El Castañar and Garganta de los Molinos.
Circular route from Montanchez in which we will visit its famous chestnut grove and the Garganta de los Molinos. The route starts by following the local path of the "De donde nace" route, which coincides with the Ruta del Castañar, to leave it after 45 minutes in Roblegordo and descend in search of the "Camino de las Vaquerizas" and then to the Garganta de los Molinos. We will return via this gorge and through the lower part of the chestnut grove, the part we had missed on the way out.
