Itinerary description
In short, a nice and short hike!
The start of the route is only a few minutes of walking from the parking spot outside of Trevélez.
The path is very good to follow but be aware that closely after crossing the river, there is a left turn instead of following the path. That’s where the little outcrop is from.
The path has a gentle ascent and goes through some rocky parts, a small pine forest and you end up on a huge field of small bushes. I also saw some mountain goats!
After the huge field of bushes you are almost at the highest point of this hike. There is a higher point which you can easily see to your right by then. You will go though a little pine forest again and walk in the spiky rocks which you saw at the start of the hike. I once again saw mountain goats here.
The descent feels a bit steeper but is easy to follow and the last kilometer is on unpaved road past the pastures and farms and then paved roads through the town.

The track is not well signaled and for me going up the mountain was not easy more like moderate-difficult
