The Siete Caminos Geo-Route starts at the Alameda del Parral, where the tourist office of Alanís is located. Just outside the village, on the left hand side, is the sign for the start of the Geo-Route. Continue along the road to Las Navas and, a couple of hundred metres further on, you will see the milestone sign for Valle del Arroyo del Pueblo.
Further on, a little further on, follow the signpost and turn right. Continue along this path, which later turns to the right and skirts the Valle del Arroyo del Pueblo. Next to a singular building there is a milestone sign indicating that it is a Turruca, a type of building used by shepherds and as a tack room. Continue to the village streets, where you turn left and continue to the San Nicolás road.
When you reach the road, turn right and continue along the cattle track until you reach the crossroads. At this point you have to cross the road, taking extreme precautions, and continue along the path. You will soon see the thematic sign for the Cuenca de Alanís – San Nicolás del Puerto on the left hand side. Continue in the direction of the castle, but before you get there, take the first path on the left. Just past the olive trees there is a place where millstones were extracted, and this is marked with a milestone sign. Continue downhill and then turn right and go uphill, leaving the castle on the right.
At the end of the slope there is another geosite, the Capas de Campoallá, marked with a milestone. All that remains is to go down to the village to begin the ascent to the castle of Alanís. To return to the starting point you just have to walk a little way back. Good Geo-Route.
