TIME: Two hours.
DESCRIPTION
We shall leave La Sauceda hermitage, situated 2 km. On the road
with leads to the built- up area along the track described in
the route MA-5.
We shall walk down the hermitage along the track that leads to
the road and, after crossing a bridge, we shall walk on the left
among some houses. After having walked on past the houses, we
must turn to the right thrpugh the lowest part of the valley and
the make our way eastwards during the whole of the walking tour.
After reaching the highest point of the hill, we must maintain
the aforementioned direction walking on at the same level and
avoinding other tracks branching off on both sides, until reaching
a quite smooth fenced area sloping down to the left wich must
be crossed to reach a track on the other side of the fence. Then,
we shall walk on to the foot of the Peñón del Buitre,
inmersed in so dense a forest, that the top cannot be seen from
this point.
To the left of the rock, there is a very steep but accessible
gorge wich leads to the other side of the rock, where we can accede
after climbing easily up through its rocks. From the height, filled
with pits and other peculiar formations, there is a beautiful
view.
