EL BaRReRo RouTe
The long alley open on what was once the stables of the noble-looking building in Altozano square, is the way that takes us from the said square to the El Barrero park.
For the visitor, it is also the start of a walk that will lead them away from the main route and into this park, the bullring and La Cabezuela, a viewpoint with spectacular views of the Sierra de Béjar and de Francia mountain ranges, as well as many villages.
For the Sequeros inhabitants, La Cabezuela is, in addition to its privileged views, a place with a number of conditions that made it ideal for thresing: it was flat, sunny and the wind helped to separate the grain from the chaff. In the old days, it was also the place chosen for the odd execution.
On the way there is the El Barrero park, a green area with a cosmopolitan air which used to host the weekly regional market, due to its generous size. |
