Senda de la Rubia

Highlight • Trail

The trail turns left along the Senda de la Rubia, well marked with milestones of the short-distance trail PR-AV 15 towards the Pico pass, coming from Alto de Centenera. The route leaves the historic path of the Senda del Puerto del Arenal and continues along another mountain path that is part of the traditional landscapes of Gredos in the upper Tiétar, linked to mountain grazing and the natural resources used by the towns of the area. Mountain range. The Senda de la Rubia climbs a fairly broken slope with several route possibilities and enters the slopes of the Cañamarejo ravine. Part of the exclusivity of the landscape due to the tones of the rocks and the scarce vegetation is due to the fire that devastated this sector of the mountains more than a decade ago. The trail jumps over a hill and runs through the ravines of Las Majadillas and El Barrancón. In several places there are solitary specimens of pine trees that survived the fire or completely charred trunks like skeletons of forest mastodons. The path passes through the Fuente Fría spring and reaches the charming mountain area of Pradera de la Rubia, with a traditional hut at the foot of the mountain.

La Rubia Trail

Highlight • Trail

The La Rubia trail, which goes up to the Risco de las Morillas, reaches a traditional mountain refuge, a stone construction with a thatched roof. A nice sight on a cold windy day or if you need shelter and rest during your hike.

Risco de las Morillas

Highlight • Summit

At about 2000 meters above sea level, the Risco de las Morillas peak in the eastern part of the Sierra de Gredos Regional Park is the highest point west of Puerto de Pico. Incredible views from the ridge over the entire mountain range and surrounding valleys. Be sure to check the weather before hitting the trail.

La Fría (1,983 m)

Highlight • Summit

The route continues along the path that runs along the mountain range. The path is marked with stone markers from the end of the firebreak, it goes up to the right of the first block of the Risco del Bierzo and then to the left of the main summit to the extensive Bierzo hill. The geodesic vertex of La Fría draws attention at the top of some isolated and solitary cliffs, you have to climb the “little stick” at least to take the photo and for the views, although the route of the ridge offers an extraordinary panoramic view at all times. El Torozo and La Mira get almost all the attention. The trail leaves the summit of La Fría (1,983 m) on the left and goes down the southeast slope to the Morillas de Cañamarejo hill. The rope is difficult to run, you need to have experience, strong ankles and a taste for these technical trails on the Gredos summits. The path looks for the best passes on the southeastern slope of the granite towers and reaches the summit of Risco de las Morillas (1,992 m), the highest peak of the ridge and the roof of the trail, although there is no milestone, cross, or vertex. or sculpture that distinguishes the summit. The track passes through the summit because it is the highest point in the mountain massif between the port of Arenal and the port of Pico, for summit collectors, but it can be avoided by taking a shortcut directly through the base of the cliff.
