Walking on from Huétor- Santillán along the national road nº 342 near the town. We shall take a road to the right wich, a few km. farther, gets to La Peza. We shall make our way along it towards a junction which we shall take to the left, crossing an olive grove and going past Los Alamillos farmhouse.
Farther, we find two tracks again. Taking the one to the left, we shall pass through Campillo´s hillock, where a lane leads to La Peza. This area has got spots of oak trees, holm oaks and maples, which together with the gall oaks in the highest area and the conifers, shape the arboreal map of the area.
