Itinerary description

We did the popular Fuente De trail backward since we wanted to hike uphill for sometime.

Notes:
- Fairly an easy hike because the ascent is very even
- The views were breathtaking
- Plenty of animals grazing along the way Horses, Cows and Sheep
- Reach early for the cable car, it closes at 19:00. So be there by 18 since there might be a queue.

    Not easy, especially the beginning, but definitely worth every step - the views are breathtaking especially in spring with the peaks still covered in snow. The entire route is 14km - we were a bit fearful at the beginning because in the loop it gets counted the teleférico trip, too. Thank you!
