Itinerary description
From La Parata at 200 metres we ascend past to over 500 metres. We then descend to "Veras Farm" before beginning the track ascent to our highest point at 674 metres for lunch at the ruined house on the ridge. After lunch we descend over 400 metres to our start point. Mostly mountain tracks, loose shale and rocky underfoot.

La mayor parte de la ruta discurren por caminos estrechos, lo cual es una mejora con respecto a otras rutas por la zona. No obstante, es conveniente llevar pantalón largo porque te arañas las piernas con frecuencia. Además en ocasiones es difícil encontrar el camino por lo que hay que consultar el GPS o el móvil con cierta frecuencia
Lo intenté hacer ayer; el sendero está muy muy cerrado, aparte que se pierde muchísimo; hay pinchos por todos los lados. Sin una hoz, mejor no ir y buscar otra alternativa
Never said that it was easy. :-)
We followed the whole track today. The views are wonderful, however the vegetation haw grown so much that the trail is mostly covered with prickly bushes, and very often we could see no trail at all and had to rely on the wikiloc track and gps only. Although it may have been a top trail in 2010 thanks to the drought, I would now only recommend it if you have a good machete or chainsaw at hand. Thanks anyway MWG for taking the time to show this trail, and for all the other trails you recommend which are usually very pleasant!
