LOCATION: Sierra de las Nieves. El Burgo- Nuestra
Señora de las Nieves country house.
TIME: Four hours.
DESCRIPTION
Leaving the Burgo town on the road to Yunquera, there is on the
way, 2 km. farther, a brook with the same name that has to be
crossed in order to arrive at a track wich branches off to the
right.
Near this place there is the Refugio de la Fuensanta, a camping
site in the middle or an excellente poplar grove where we may
pitch our tent with a permit.
After walking on past a junction to the left, we shall walk on
up trough the Barranco del portillo ( El portillo´s gorge).
Taking a junction to the right that leads to the Palancar country
house and walking on along a sloppy track, we shall reach the
Refugio de los Sauces camp area, in the middle of pines, cork
oaks and poplars, belonging to the IARA. This area is an important
starting point to the routes wich cross the mountains.
The Nuestra Señora de las Nieves which cross the mountains.
