    From the parking lot at the village entrance of Ventas de Zafarraya, we follow the planned railway track westwards. Shortly after the start, we pass through a tunnel about 200 m long. Afterwards, we hike along the track, always keeping the altitude, to a junction on the long-distance hiking trail GR 249. Straight ahead would now lead down to Periana. Here we turn sharply right, and after a few meters, left downwards. We follow the signpost to "Guaro". We can already see our intermediate destination lying below. In Guaro, you can stop and refresh yourself at the Restaurante "El Caseron". El Caseron offers regional Spanish cuisine. Then we set off on the way back. First, we have to steadily hike uphill to reach the track altitude again. After the tunnel, it is often worth looking left uphill, as Spanish mountain goats or Iberian ibexes can often be observed there.
