The route enters the Vegas del Jarama Greenway, and the journey takes on a completely new emotional state thanks to the serenity of the environment and the comfort of the road surface. The route of the old mining train runs through the dehesas or rañas of the Ruecas River valley, undisturbed, passing over several viaducts that span the river's meanders. From time to time, the old stations and halts appear, half-ruined and abandoned. The villages are off the track, and to get supplies or water, you have to detour several kilometers. Madrigalejo is the closest and most recommended town; it is three kilometers from the old local station and has shops and all kinds of services. The Greenway gradually enters a new landscape. The meadows of the Vegas Altas fade, and the curious "Appalachian" reliefs of Las Villuercas emerge, shaped by parallel ridges of slate and schist that appear to have been pounded and kneaded by a geological sculptor. Some authors have compared them to the Appalachian Mountains of North America and declared the Villuercas-Ibores-Jara Global Geopark by UNESCO. The Greenway ends at the old Logrosán station, and a new section of the Las Villuercas Nature Trail GR-116 begins, leading to La Puebla de Guadalupe. The pedaling pace slows due to the condition of the road surface, but it remains an impeccable cycle route. From Logrosán onward, the original route of the old railway is no longer maintained; the trail markers appear on rural roads and on some isolated stretches of the old railway used by local farmers. The Camino reaches the hamlet of Cañamero via the Santa Ana chapel and runs through the town center, famous for its Vegas del Guadiana Designation of Origin wines, made from mountain vines grown on rugged slate slopes. The exit from Cañamero is spectacular and somewhat unsettling, following the path of the Ruecas canyon. Pay attention on the descent; there's a short trial. It then continues along farm roads to the climb to the Martín Blasco pass, a good stretch before tackling the final stretch of the day through the solitary mountains of Las Villuercas and ending in Guadalupe, passing once again through the arch of the old mining railway, the last reminder of a project that confounded the era; it was built almost a hundred years before it was used.

The church "San Pedro Apostol" was dedicated to Saint Peter (Peter). Simon, nicknamed Peter (Rock), was a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee when he - together with his brother Andrew - was called by Jesus Christ to be "fishers of men". According to Catholic understanding, he is the supreme apostle, and the two millennia-long line of popes - currently Francis - are his successors. In statues and paintings, Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand; this attribute refers to the biblical saying in Matthew: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven” (Chapter 16, verse 19). Peter and Paul are also known as the “Princes of the Apostles”; their common feast day in the saints’ calendar is June 29th.
