The Route of the Senses aims to reconnect visitors with nature through the stimulation of the five senses, highlighting the unique surroundings of Malpartida de Cáceres. Although it does not have an 'ancient' history as such, its significance lies in the modern reinterpretation of the relationship between human beings and their environment, encouraging observation and introspection.
Spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) are the best seasons thanks to the mild temperatures and the beauty of the landscape. During summer, we recommend visiting early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the intense heat. Sunset can offer spectacular light.
Some sections of the Route of the Senses follow natural paths and may have uneven ground. Although it is not specifically designed as a 100% accessible route at every point for wheelchairs, many of the sensory elements and part of the surroundings can still be enjoyed. We recommend contacting the Malpartida Tourist Office for more detailed information about accessible sections: +34 927 276 569.
