The trail to Monfragüe Castle extends roughly 15 km (nine miles) and can be reached from the huts below Villareal or, farther on, from the Puente del Cardenal. This 15th-century bridge made travel across the River Tajo possible and fostered a major trading route, to which bandits flocked until Carlos III founded Villareal de San Carlos as a military outpost to protect the travelers and merchants.
