STAGE 27 Don Benito - Torrefresneda

Having left the region of La Serena behind, we now enter the region of Vegas Altas del Guadiana. From the Parish Church of Santiago Apóstol, which has a sculpture of Santiago Peregrino, we continue along the streets Arroyazo and Ancha, passing the gates of the Claret School, founded at the end of the 19th century, to reach the Parque de las Albercas, leaving it on our left and leaving Don Benito along Calle Leonardo Torres Quevedo in the Isaac Peral Industrial Estate. After passing under the railway track, we turn left and after crossing a road we turn left again and then turn right and continue along a path between country houses and irrigated land that leads us to Medellín, which with the view of its castle will be the horizon that we must always look at.

The entrance to Medellín will undoubtedly be one of the moments that we will keep in our minds of the Mozarabic Way: after a slight climb we will find the Roman Theatre, the last theatre excavated in the 20th century in Spain, on the side of the majestic Castle and the Church of Santiago Apóstol, now converted into the Interpretation Centre of the Archaeological Park of Medellín, birthplace of Hernán Cortés.

After descending towards the Parish Church of Santa Cecilia and crossing the Guadiana River over the medieval bridge, we continue towards the small village of Yelbes, one of the villages of Luz built in the mid-20th century as a colonisation village to take advantage of the fertile fertile plains of the Guadiana River.

After crossing the River Búrdalo, in 4 km we reach another of the villages of Luz, Torrefresneda, the end of our stage.
