Sierra Maria. Travesia de la Sierra.
(6 h. aprox.) |
We start leaving María town along the track which
leads to the Umbría de la Virgen mountain shelter.
Then we must walk past the Virgen de la Cabeza´s
hermitage, and the shelter; when the track ends, we shall
make our way southwards towards the Sierra maría
mountain pass, next to the Peñón de las
Cucalas, which is our point of reference.
Once at the mountain pass, we shall walk on to the left
towards the hardest stretch, with many ups and downs along
the way.
On the way we will find the Pico María, 2,045 m.
high, at the food of which there is a very thick forest
of pines and oaks inhabited by squirrels and boars.
From the top of María we can see Pico Franco, 1,842
m. high, and the Cabezo, 1,948 m. high, sorrounded by
an impressive grove of oak trees.
Then we shall climb down in order to reach the track which
to the right eads to the road.
