Picnic tables, water fountain and small parking area next to the local road between Valdastillas and Cabrero.
The picnic area is located by taking advantage of a bend in the narrow local road that connects Valdastillas with Cabrero and Casas del Castañar, on the outskirts of Cabrero. From Cabrero you take this road toward Valdastillas; after a short stretch along the route, the rest area appears signposted next to the Fuente del Tomillar, with direct access from the carriageway.
It is a place usable year-round for brief stops en route, provided that weather and road conditions are favorable. It is especially pleasant in spring and autumn, when the temperatures are mild and the surrounding landscape displays more color.

Resource access level
Use the picnic area primarily as a brief rest stop during road trips, always respecting the cleanliness of the space and taking any generated waste with you. It is advisable to check the condition of the local road beforehand and drive carefully since it is a narrow, winding route. It is recommended to carry extra water in case the fountain is not operational at some point.
Being located on a curve of a narrow road, extra caution must be taken when maneuvering to enter or exit the parking area and when crossing the roadway. On days of heavy rain, fog, or possible frost, access via this road can be more hazardous and it is advisable to assess conditions before stopping at the picnic area. There is no record in official sources of services such as enabled barbecues or surveillance, so fires should not be made nor valuables left in plain sight.
