Spectacular roads for visiting
Introduction
Mogarraz Km: 0 ALT: 820 m: We will park the vehicle in one of the public parking lots in Mogarraz. We will guide our steps along the road that joins this town with the pool. On the outskirts, at the height of the last houses, we will see a vertical signal that indicates the beginning of the “GR-10 route: crossing of the Sierra de France”, in the direction of Monforte. The first section of the road is asphalted, but we will immediately enter a narrower path and surrounded by stone walls that delimit the orchards of cherry trees and olive trees. The descent brings us closer to the Bocino River, where we will cross some stone pontoons that help us save the water torrent, are the horn passes.
Developing
Only a few steps later, we will find the first of the six works of art that surround the Water Water. This is "K’oa", a cage about a rock that does not contain anything, except for the possibility of stopping to listen to the sounds of the valley. Monforte km stone bridge: 1.9 ALT: 825 m. We will leave behind the cobbled path to take a wider track between chestnuts and oaks, which will take us to one of the most beautiful corners of the route, the Monforte stone bridge. Here the sound of the water is accompanied by the work "Serena", a fairy with a fish tail that emerges from a rock. We will be ascending gradually until we reach the road that joins the pool with Sotoserrano.
Although this part of the route is done by the asphalt and it may seem that it lacks interest, it is not so. The road barely has traffic and the forest that surrounds us does not abandon us until the viewpoint is reached over the town of Mogarraz. Here, there is also the bronze sculpture "s/t" and "step elements. Circular seats ”that invite us to rest and enjoy nature. Monforte of the Sierra Km: 2.9 ALT: 865 m. The route takes us to Monforte de la Sierra, and, in a fountain next to the road, the road is deviated to the left. Although it is not necessary to enter the town, its cobbled streets, its sources, its architecture and its people deserve a visit before going down to the Arromilano stream.
The stone bridge of the mills allows us to save this stream and is the point where the route begins to ascend, for 1.1 km, by the forest until reaching a signposted bifurcation. A vertical sign marks the meaning to be taken, depending on the route that is being made. In this case, we follow the itinerary "Gr- Travesía Sierra de France". Pontón Km bridge: 5.9 ALT: 729 m. We are going to enter a stony and narrow path in which steps on earth have been worked to facilitate the descent to the Milano River. This is the most demanding part of the route, but it has the reward to reach the most representative point of the Water Road.
conclusion
Here is the Pontón bridge and the work "Seven chairs to listen". Although, more than chairs, they seem thrones of different heights that give us the possibility of making a break and enjoying the natural environment. We will be ascending until we reach the last art proposal "Cruz de Mingo Molino". A viewpoint to the valley, in which there is a granite wall that houses a cypress as a memory tree. Mogarraz: It only remains, to rise along an asphalted road to Mogarraz and travel its streets calmly and calmly, trying to see the marrano of San Antón that wanders free in the streets of the town.
