 Esta abandonada, con hierbas de más de dos metros de altura que cierran el sendero, es difícilmente ciclable, no se ve nada

        Está todo abandonado y lleno de vegetación, que da pena verlo, un desastre absoluto. Un día tirado a la basura, me he hecho casi 400 km de ida y vuelta desde Salamanca para nada...
        Uno de los peores sitios en los que he estado...

        We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
