The route is 6.3 km long. It starts next to the Green Track (although it can be started from the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, taking its first section of the route through the town, where the Church of Nuestra Señora de Montesión stands out) and passes through the old mines and the calcination ovens. 8 large ovens show how important mining activity was in this municipality since 1894. Passing them, the route continues through the town, along with a laundry and trough, still in use, that lead to the source of the Marchal laundry. Then it continues through the "Huertos" area where you can see among the cotteges some centuries-old carob trees, and ends again in the Green Track, which is the one that transported the mineral extracted from Lucainena to Aguamarga.
