This route highlights seasonal changes in the allotments and fields; from an abundance of tomatoes, beans, peppers and cucumbers in the summer to a complete lack of produce in the winter. This path is used by people going to their allotments, by hardy villagers responsible for keeping the old irrigation ditches clear and by women chatting as they make their way to the spring.
A medieval bridge is undoubtedly one of the main attractions of the route. The narrowness of the roads in the middle Ages meant that the bridges were also narrow. Its profile with two slopes is characteristic of this era and is often described locally as a “donkey’s back.”
