ROUTE DESCRIPTIONThis circular route runs between the municipalities of La Unión de Campos, Valdunquillo and the very western part of the municipal area of Urones de Castroponce. Situated in the part of the rural district of Tierra de Campos that lies in the province of Valladolid, this is in the heart of the Penillanuras-Campos Norte Special Protection Area for Birds. The route follows the easy tracks around this area, which is characterized by uniform flat steppelands with cereal cultivations, occasionally interrupted by streams which form small valleys, like the Arroyo del Olmo, near Valdunquillo. Of particular note is the presence of an internationally important community of birds associated with the steppes, such as the Great and Little Bustards, and the Black-bellied Sandgrouse. There are also raptors, particularly notable being Montagu’s Harrier and the Lesser Kestrel, which both nest in the area.
