But many people do it in early February to commemorate the trip of Emperor Charles V, comming to the Monastery of Yuste (February 3, 1557).
During this event you can enjoy the typical local
cuisine, theater performances that recall the journey of the emperor
and musical performances.
The beginning of the route is indicated by a plaque next to the Parador de Jarandilla (Jarandilla de la Vera).
From this point we continue along the Cuesta de los Carros, near the
Church of St. Agustin and then right down the Marina street until we
left Jarandilla.
We continue towards the bridge called Parral, through a dirt road and a
paved alley. Once we've past the bridge, we have to follow a path
