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.
