Continuing along the river, you will encounter a path on the left that leads towards a limestone quarry. Along this segment, observe the surrounding agricultural lands, cattle grazing, and traditional housing areas, which add a cultural touch to your journey.
As the path progresses past some orchards, it arrives at a bank descending from the limestone quarry. Crossing this bank, the trail begins a winding ascent towards the summit. The terrain becomes more challenging as you navigate the irregular, rocky, and arid grey plain. The highest point of Calar del Cobo is located to the south, standing at 1,794 metres.
