Covarrubias-Puentedura-Lerma-Tordueles-Covarrubias

Start in Covarrubias, crossing the bridge over the Arlanza River towards Retuerta. Just after crossing the bridge, turn left into Arrabal and take the path leading to the Redonda Hermitage. Continue along the tree-lined path with a short ascent and descent to Puentedura. Cross the bridge and turn left onto the road to Lerma; after climbing, at 500 meters turn right onto a path. Continue with ups and downs until you reach Quintanilla del Agua. Go onto the road to Lerma, cross Quintanilla, and take the left turn onto the road to Tordueles. Just after crossing the bridge, take the dirt track to your right. Follow it, passing near the Bascones farm, and in the distance you can see Lerma’s Parador on the hilltop. Continue along flat terrain and finish with a short climb to Lerma’s Parador. Return by the same route, passing Bascones farm, arrive at the junction with the Tordueles road, turn right, and follow the road into Tordueles, which you cross. Continue on the road to Puentedura, then turn right to cross the village and join the path leading back to Covarrubias via the Redonda Hermitage.

The route is flat and easy, but be careful with the wind; when it blows, it really blows!
