Walk down towards a ruin, but watch for a sudden right turn away from the barranco. The path leads down to another ruin, then afterwards turns left at a junction to pass yet another ruin. Level out and reach a signpost at the ruined village of Morales, around 520m (1705ft). The buildings are worth exploring, but take care as some are close to collapse.

The Bar Restaurante Degollada de Peraza and Alto de Tacalcusie

Turn right, as signposted for the GR132 for Casas de Contreras, down a rocky path to cross a barranco, then up across a slight gap. Go down to cross another barranco then up across a terraced slope. The path drifts down to a rock wall, which is climbed using a breach; then a gentle descent crosses a terraced slope. A rugged path drops into a barranco and climbs up the other side past a ruin. Watch carefully at a corner, turning right to drop into a deeper barranco. Climb the other side to a ruined mansion at Casas de Contreras, at 400m (1310ft).

Turn right at the crumbling ruins of Casas de Contreras as signposted uphill for the Ruta 25 back to Degollada de Peraza. Climb past the house and the prickly pears behind it. Go up a rocky, boulder-paved path that rises along a low, rocky ridge between terraces covered in tabaibal. Keep climbing to pass three ruins and the path finally levels out at Llano de la Cruz, returning to the path junction reached earlier in the walk. Turn left downhill, as signposted and simply retrace the earlier steps of the day to return to Degollada de Peraza.
