The Poyet Route is ideal for hiking and walking and a good part of the path runs alongside the River Vero.  After crossing a number of small gorges and fields of crops, the path continues to the Poyet ruins.  From here it is possible to take in magnificent views of some of the many vineyards and wineries of the D.O. Somontano, as well as the mountains and peaks of the Pyrenees and the Sierra de Guara.
Along the way you will pass old almond groves and vineyards that have long since been abandoned, old stone houses and small forests of holm and gall oak. 
However, “El Chopar” is definitely one of the highlights of the route – a thicket of poplar, willow, ash and pine trees.  Due to the recent signposting of this route, this small wood has been reclaimed and is now a place of great value in terms of ecology as it gives shelter to an interesting variety of fauna that thrive in an aquatic environment.
