Path through the valley of Balgorra, in Tafalla, traditional water collection point for the city. The importance of this precious liquid and the agricultural landscape of vineyards, olive trees and wheat fields with traditional elements (bee hives, false-domed Gurrutxo hut, King's fountain....) are the main themes, in addition to the air as a source of energy, before with small and ingenious windmills to extract water and now with the wind turbines of the Peña Blanca Park. Great variety of aromatic flowers in this walk, in good part by wide tracks.
STARTING POINT: Tafalla, Panueva bridge and traffic circle on the NA-8607 road. Commercial area and parking. Information panel. Cross under the railway track (on the right is the Fuente del Rey and a park) and then under the freeway. After 1 km, fork: on the right, return path; ascend to the left along a wide path, passing near some traditional bee hives (100 meters to the right, not signposted) and the false-domed Gurrutxo hut, until you reach the Peña Blanca ridge, with several wind turbines. Follow the track and, next to the wind turbine A.7., ascend to the right along a path to the Alto de Valdelobos, with a wide view. After another stretch on the track, Fuente de Pozuelo (untreated water), an oasis on the road; 300 meters later, turn right onto a path through a kermes oak forest, crossing a plowed field to reach a shepherd's hut. Once again along a country road you will reach the Portillo del Aire and the wide Canal de Navarra. Continue between ploughed fields, leaving on the left the stone reservoir of La Fuente del Rey (attention: access by private land not signposted) and, already between orchards, you join the outward path in the last kilometer to reach Tafalla.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
