La Canalosa: Trails, Nativity Scene and Rural Landscape

The PR-CV 280 cycling route reaches La Canalosa at kilometre 12.2. A second route is called PR-CV 281 Ruta Peña La Mina. It leads from Plaza de la Canalosa, 50 m from the church, back along the CV-843 towards Hondón de las Nieves.

For your planning, you can consider the specific kilometre indication of the cycling route and the square, church and directional reference of the second route as different forms of orientation alongside one another. If you wish to weigh activity and culture separately, trails, cultural heritage and landscape can be considered as separate focal points.

Culture

The living nativity scene Belén viviente de La Canalosa originated in 1998 from a school idea by Jorge Poveda Pérez, together with the children and parents of Colegio l’Om. In the living nativity scene, the hamlet’s inhabitants recreate huts in which various professions were practised. The living nativity scene is followed by a gastronomic tasting of various products from the comarca.

Depending on your personal interests, you can consider this cultural topic from the perspective of its origins, the professions depicted or the regional products.
