Portalejo · Vinuesa (EN)

It is one of the most picturesque points of confluence of the town; space of crossing that serves as a link between the upper and lower parts of the urban nucleus. Long cobblestone steps are in charge of linking this walk that joins the four streets with the fronton and the Patín. It is an itinerary to walk slowly, almost playing between short or long strides on the paving. In it, a narrow corridor for walking that may require protection from the occasional current, a sort of passageway crosses under a room, cantilevered, of a private house. If the direction of our steps is descending, we will end up in the Four Streets. If we decide to take the stairs that go to the left and not descend, we can reach the back of the church thanks to some narrow and steep stone stairs. At the top of these, the viewpoint of Camarilla Street promises panoramic views thanks to a natural balcony towards the Revinuesa; offering a magnificent view over the Cuerda del Pozo Reservoir. We are very close to the Plaza Mayor. If, on the other hand, the itinerary is uphill, our steps will lead us to the stone pediment. Flanked on two of its sides by a small grandstand, the pelota game is the hallmark of the towns of the provincial geography in general and the region in particular, where there is a great fondness for hand pelota and other sports in the shelter of the fronton. In festivals, the tradition will unite men every year around the game of tanguilla.
