Itinerary description

Parked in Hoya del Pino recreation zone and ascended on the path to join GR 131 near Malpaso. The climb is steeper in the beginning, it gets easier once you hit some forest roads. Followed the GR / Camino de la Virgen de los Reyes westward to Mirador de Sabinosa. The descent to Sabinosa on the PR-EH 9.2 is very steep, watch your step. The climb through Mencafete on PR-EH 1 is continuous, but not too steep.

There is a variety of terrain along the way, from pine and laurel groves to volcanic rock and gravel. The walking surface is very varied as well. The path is reasonably well marked and maintained. The views are spectacular, especially from the GR 131, along the ridgeline.

There is a tiny shop/bar in Sabinosa, if you need refreshments.
