evidence: About 700 m further is the Ribera de Táliga River, whose waters sustained the livelihood of several families working at the local mills. Concrete stepping-stones cross the stream. As the sign indicates, caution should be exercised at this point. One can see up close the rich riparian vegetation on the banks of these calm waters, which bring great ecological value to this small stream. [...] One may come upon a few free-roaming cattle grazing in these forests impacted by human activity; therefore, one must make sure that gates and fences are properly closed. After crossing several gates, and past a few entrances to private farmsteads, one can see to the right an old well next to Siete Fuentes Creek, whose seasonal waters feed the Táliga. Further beyond is the Cortijo de la Peña farmstead. [...] The route continues until it reaches a rest area (left) located at the Km 2 milestone, next to the medieval "Carrasco Bridge", built over one of the many creeks that empty into Rivera de Táliga River. Three original brick and masonry arches still stand. From here, the landscape on both sides of the road is increasingly devoid of trees, with a higher sheep and goat stocking density..
