We cross the Sabinarejo and the Manjanos ravine. We arrive at the Palomera farmhouse, from here the slopes become steeper. The Palomera Peak presides over the whole Jiloca valley, the impressive views make the climb well worth the effort. We descend to the east, towards the Ermita del Castillo hermitage.

The route reaches the village of Ojos Negros, although there is only a track as far as Santa Eulalia. From there it is necessary to follow the railway line. From Sagunto to Santa Eulalia there are 160 kilometres that can be covered on foot, by bicycle or on horseback (there are some sections that are shared with other motor vehicles).
