Where to start

In Las Majadas, along Camino de Valdeasnos.

The route

It crosses El Collado and Dehesa Boyal and skirts the golf course. At Fuente de la Puentecilla it takes the old Uña–Las Fuentecillas path, becoming a footpath across the slope of Solana de Uña to Huertos de Royo Frío at 1,291 m. It climbs the shaded side of Picón de Royo Frío on a steep path. Above is the Picón de Tío Cogote viewpoint; it then skirts the muela, a flat-topped limestone hill, along Camino de los Charcos to Los Callejones, the village’s stone maze, and descends via La Moratilla and Alto de la Peña.

Between the foot and top of the cliffs, the regional government describes Portuguese-oak woods, pine forests and plants of wetter climates, typical of northern Europe.
