Ascent to Pico Valdihuelo

We begin this route near Urraca Miguel, a small village located at the foot of the first slopes of the Sierra de Ojos Albos

These stands of Scots pine, the result of reforestations in the 1980s, lack forest management but add uniqueness to the landscape and host diverse fauna such as raptors, birds, and mammals

This section of the route crosses extensive areas of natural grassland, traditionally used as grazing areas for livestock, mainly cattle and to a lesser extent sheep

As we gain altitude, the landscape begins to transform, and one of the most emblematic plant formations of the Central System appears: the piornal

The route culminates at Pico Valdihuelo, one of the highest points in the area and a true natural balcony overlooking a vast landscape of valleys, dehesas, villages, and mountains
