The trail of the Caminos Rurales de Rota (“Rural Roads of Rota”) allows to know the rustic area of the municipality of Rota, between the main city centre and Costa Ballena.
Throughout the trail, you will find the typical crops of the region; like vineyards, sunflowers, tomatoes or pumpkins. However, it also depends on the time of the year in which the route is made.
You can also observe the typical hut of the Roteño farmer, known as mayeto. This stands out for its roof of plant origin, which makes it cool in summer and warm in winter. They are always oriented to the south in search of light and avoiding the cold winds of the north.
