Recreative area El Picacho It is a recreational area with a high percentage of shade formed by a dense alcornocal with associated wet lentiscal. It has mesas-bank, barbecues, parking and children's playground. .
Departure indicator At this point we will take the path of the left signposted as the Path of Dark Port.

A short and intense tour, that of this path located in Alcalá de los Gazul. During the same one can see the Picacho, unmistakable silhouette, and the lagoon of the same name in which it is reflected, at its feet. This lagoon has a seasonal character, having water during the rainy times and drying later during the summer period, so autumn is very good time to visit it. Then a lush alcornocal, so green that it seems to belong to other latitudes, splashed with interesting vestiges. And finally the Dark Port's throat, spectacular birth of the Barbate River. On the way the visitor is found with remains that are testimony of activities such as bakery, livestock and coal. On the other hand, on the margins, and even on the very bed of the stream, is the river vegetation characteristic of the so-called 'canuts', a laurisilva forest that has survived here the climate changes that occurred millions of years ago. In addition, with a little luck, you can see during the course the race or the leaps of the Moorish corzo. Like the flight of some of the many birds.
