But on this getaway, Guadalupe isn\u2019t the end of the line. It is the gateway to the geopark.\n\nSo, before hitting the road, it\u2019s worth taking a leisurely stroll. Take in the streets, visit the monastery and, above all, realise that we are about to shift our perspective: from the history of humankind to the history of the Earth.\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"qodef-e qodef-e-item elementor-repeater-item-a975901 qodef-reverse\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-line-holder\">\n\t\t<span class=\"qodef-e-line\"><\/span>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-item-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"qodef-e-point-holder\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-e-point\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"qodef-e-side-holder\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-e-image\">\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1169\" height=\"781\" src=\"https:\/\/grandtourprovinciacaceres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/57-CP07_hacia-geoparque_Berzocana-copia.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grandtourprovinciacaceres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/57-CP07_hacia-geoparque_Berzocana-copia.webp 1169w, https:\/\/grandtourprovinciacaceres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/57-CP07_hacia-geoparque_Berzocana-copia-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/grandtourprovinciacaceres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/57-CP07_hacia-geoparque_Berzocana-copia-1024x684.webp 1024w, https:\/\/grandtourprovinciacaceres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/57-CP07_hacia-geoparque_Berzocana-copia-768x513.webp 768w, https:\/\/grandtourprovinciacaceres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/57-CP07_hacia-geoparque_Berzocana-copia-600x401.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1169px) 100vw, 1169px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"qodef-e-content-holder\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-e-date\">\n\t\t\ud83c\udfd4\ufe0f Km 3 \u00b7 The treasures of the geopark\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"qodef-e-title\">\n\t\tIt\u2019s time for a scenic drive\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"qodef-e-text\">\n\t\tThere are roads that are simply a means of getting there.\n\nAnd then there are those that make you feel a bit annoyed at arriving too soon.\n\nThe road between Guadalupe and Casta\u00f1ar de Ibor is one of the latter. The landscape changes gradually and the mountains of the geopark begin to take centre stage. It\u2019s a road to drive along with the window down, stopping whenever you feel like it to take in the smells and the views.\n\n\u2192 TOP: The route itself is considered a scenic road within the geopark and allows you to discover, amongst other attractions, the Casta\u00f1ar Cave and the Casta\u00f1os de Calabazas.\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"qodef-e qodef-e-item elementor-repeater-item-c9724c9 qodef-obverse\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-line-holder\">\n\t\t<span class=\"qodef-e-line\"><\/span>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-item-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"qodef-e-point-holder\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-e-point\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"qodef-e-side-holder\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-e-image\">\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"783\" height=\"1169\" src=\"https:\/\/grandtourprovinciacaceres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/36-GT10_CI-cueva_recreacion-copia.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grandtourprovinciacaceres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/36-GT10_CI-cueva_recreacion-copia.webp 783w, https:\/\/grandtourprovinciacaceres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/36-GT10_CI-cueva_recreacion-copia-201x300.webp 201w, https:\/\/grandtourprovinciacaceres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/36-GT10_CI-cueva_recreacion-copia-686x1024.webp 686w, https:\/\/grandtourprovinciacaceres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/36-GT10_CI-cueva_recreacion-copia-768x1147.webp 768w, https:\/\/grandtourprovinciacaceres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/36-GT10_CI-cueva_recreacion-copia-600x896.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 783px) 100vw, 783px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"qodef-e-content-holder\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-e-date\">\n\t\t\ud83e\udea8 Km 31 \u00b7 Casta\u00f1ar de Ibor\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"qodef-e-title\">\n\t\tInside the Earth\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"qodef-e-text\">\n\t\tUp until now, we\u2019ve been looking at the site from the outside.\n\nNow it\u2019s time to discover what lies within.\n\nThe Casta\u00f1ar Cave is one of the geopark\u2019s great geological treasures. It is a particularly fragile environment where the action of water and the passage of time have created a veritable mineral forest of speleothems and aragonite crystals.\n\nVisits to the interior are strictly controlled, precisely to protect this heritage.
