Itinerary description

I have taken the week off in celebration of the solstice and last night decided to do a hike that i have heard much about, but never gone on: los siete picos. Unfortunately the day was rather cloudy in Madrid which meant that clouds were actually stuck on the 7 peeks. Not to be deterred, my trust companion Princesa Leia and I forged ahead and after bouncing around the first few peeks in the fog, took a short cut down to the Schmidt trail which on the northern side was less foggy and the Schmidt trail is like a 5 lane highway compared to the goat trails Leia and I bounced around near the peeks. Will return again but on a sunny day!
