Itinerary description

This hike was very pretty, so much to see, and the route was pretty quiet. Probably because it does go up high for a bit, so you need to be in good shape! (don't worry, we're moderate hikers and we had no problems, you can do it!)
It starts from the hotel, just by the parking, you take the road up by the sign of the route. You almost immediately go up, and keep going up for a good 45 minutes.
The view gets better and better each time you turn around to look back.

Finally we get to the top, here there's a little road that goes down to continue the route (we deviated a bit to see where the other road took us, it didn't really go anywhere so we went back to continue the main hike)
You follow the "ruta del pozuela" path first down and then very steeply up again, keep going and you will get to another peak with amazing views. If you keep going you finally start your descent and you will then encounter the Pozuela (the water fountain) it,s an old one and not much to see, but still, it's there.
The road back goes through the forrest it is so pretty and enchanting almost!
Eventually, you go down the side of the mountain,(you can see the road you drove in on towards the hotel) which will really test your muscles!
At some point the route tells you to go left through the river to the main road and keep walking there, we decided to just keep following the path (even though there was a red cross not to continue the route there) we continued anyway and this way also came back to the hotel. I guess if it has rained a few days before it is not a good idea to deviate there as you have to cross 2 rivers and they may be full by then. They weren't on our hike so we could do the little detour :)
