Discover Cobisa: Trails, Nature and Culture

Cobisa can be explored through its trails, landscapes and history.

Trails and Pilgrimage Paths

Cobisa has three municipal trails: the Sendero para caminar, the Sendero para bici and the Sendero Botánico.

The Sendero para caminar, the “En forma” route, is an active hiking trail with adapted physical exercises for different needs. The trail is 6.5 kilometres long. The Sendero Botánico is an environmental education route presenting the 100 most common plant species. It is 6.5 kilometres long in total, including the outward and return journeys.

The Sendero para bici is designated as a family-friendly cycling route. It begins on Calle Eras, runs along the Camino de la Dehesa and the Camino de Layos to the junction with the Camino de Santiago, and then returns along the same route to the original residential area.

For your planning, route length, type of activity, environmental education, cycling route and pilgrimage stops can be considered side by side as different criteria.
