Province
& Villages - Cadiz - Rota - Rural Route
Rota information
Route along rural road
DURATION: From 3 to 4 hours.
DISTANCE: Approx. 12,5 km.
DIFFICULTY: Zero.
On leaving the Oficina de Turismo situated on the
Av. de la Libertad take the Sta. Teresa street situated
on the left situated on the left of the Town Hall
and, just under 1 km, turn right onto a dirt road
opposite a sign showing "Club Hípica".
Continue down this road until you reach a left turn
on the edge of a plot of land bordered by a white
wood fence and follow this road.
Carry on down this road some 4 km, until you reach
the "Mayeto", a typical farmhouse used by Farmers
of Rota.
One of the most notable features of the Mayeto is
the roof made from local vegetation, which keeps it
cool in summer and warm in winter. (I would miss this
sentence out unless you can say whether its plants
or the buildings - I'm not sure which). Here we can
see three old farmhouses surrounded by a fence framed
by prickly pears. Walk around the farmhouse, taking
the parallel road, until you find an exit and then
right heading towards the bridge. As you cross the
bridge, take the road going towards the EDAR (waste
water treatment factory).
Carry straight on until you reach a crowwroads and
the continue straight on. Throughout the route you
will see typical regional plant life such as vines,
sunflowers, tomatoes, pumpkins, etc., depending, of
course, on the time of year that you take the route.
On arriving at some greenhouses surrounded by eucalyptus,
pass these and take the fork to the right. On passing
another Mayeto farmhouse, turn right along a vine
field, and you should arrive at a crossing at which
you turn right. Looking back, there should be a bridge
to your left.
Continue straight on until you get to some elctric
pylons and a greenhouse on the left and then turn
right until you get to another two pylons the carry
on to the left. Go around some eucalyptus on the left
and carry straight on until you arrive at the waste
water treatment plan. Turn right here.
Carry straight on until you reach a "stop"
sign and then carry straight on past the cypress trees,
travelling parallel to the main road, until you reach
the end of the road. On the left you will see the
bridge that takes you back to Rota.
Once you are on the bridge, continue in the direction
of Rota until you arrive at the sign that says "Rota
7 km".
Take the road on the left to arrive on the same road
you left on.
