Peak 462 m

"This mountain is halfway between the towns of Fortuna and Garapacha, it is an area where rabbits and partridges abound, in fact I find old hunting posts along the route. The repopulated pine trees provide shelter to some species of birds, and some pine caterpillars have also become active thanks to the mild temperatures these days. Old stone walls appear in some ravines to stop the erosion of the land a little, currently some retirees from other countries have bought old houses in the area and have rehabilitated them to live in them." — franciscobirruezo • Jan 27, 2024

"I am heading to the town of Fortuna to later arrive at the Cortado de Las Peñas. In this place I am surprised to see quite a few hikers enjoying the warm temperatures despite the gray sky. However, I don't meet anyone on the way up this mountain, so I enjoy a good moment of silence. After eating some fruit near the top, a spider catches my eye and I take a picture of it. At home I see that it is an endemic species and has been cataloged very recently. Shells of land mollusks, butterflies, grasshoppers and other insects I find along the path. Quite a few rabbit tracks and the marks left by foxes in their roaming." — franciscobirruezo • Oct 30, 2022

"And if the journey were important and not the goal. Life is a path you travel alone, but you can share part of the journey with other people. You just have to move forward with the imagination or with the legs ... or with both. Remember that you don't have to go quickly but look around you." — franciscobirruezo • Aug 2, 2019

"We went today to Cortado de Las Peñas to see it better from above. I have to say that the views from the Peak 462 m are great. A small spring sprouts in the ravine and the appearance is of a mountain that collapses." — franciscobirruezo • Sep 12, 2017
