    RUTA DE GENTILZULO

    Circular route.
    Duration approximate: 3 hours.

    This route passes through the vicinity of the village, but in turn, makes a perfect summary of the ethnography, legends and myths of this land and its people. All in a privileged environment Nature.

    The route starts from the village (like most I’ve designed) to one of the ziplines that both helped the locals in their daily work, in these difficult mountains.

    Follow the path through the “errota” (mill) that, apart from grinding corn, produced the energy needed in the first light in the village houses.

    Talking with the seniors of this place, they will tell us stories of people who were responsible for this work.

    Soon we arrive at a lime kiln in perfect condition, where the production of lime in his oven was very important for the field and the houses (in not so long ago).

    Very close to the lime kiln, there are the “gentilzulos” (Caves of the Gentiles) which were abodes of men and women who had not been Christianized. The little or no contact with people gave them a bad name . The stories related to them have survived in this land, to just over a hundred years ago.

    After this shock, we will relax visiting the site of “Matxitxulo”, where his big stream and waterfall give the place an extraordinary beauty. To see it in its splendor, is needed abundant rains, like often happens in this lands, because of this his beauty and greenery.

    The output of this area will lead us back to the village, having fantastic panoramics of him.
