It is a circular route that starts and ends in Carretera de Valencia street (next to La Encina street) in Zahínos. It is a eminently plain route. However, there are several hills in the second part of the route.
It crosses the Sancho stream twice, which gives name to the route. It does not have bridges nor fords, which is important to take into account, since the first river walkway can be very fast-flowing and you need to ford it barefoot. However, as the route is in Zahínos-Valencia unpaved road, it is not advisable to do it in summer, due to the vehicles that circulate there.
There are several coal and charcoal local factories along its walk. You can also see some remainders of the unfinished railway construction. It was going to connect Portugal and Spain, but it was stopped at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. This route is 15 km long.
Animals that can be seen: goats, sheeps, dogs, horses, donkeys, cows, hens, turtledoves, doves, blackbirds, starlings, sparrows...
The predominant tree species are: the holm oak, the cork oak and the olive tree. Regarding shrubs, you will find rockroses and oleanders.
