"After walking the circuit of Las Brañas de Caldas in the morning, it was obvious there was a beautiful line to this summit from the track which heads north-east from the roadhead at Balneario de Caldas, just up from the village of Caldas de Lunas. I took the track until I was more or less under the huge boulder to be seen at a low point on the summit ridge, found a little rocky path leading down to the stream and from there up the most beautiful wildflower meadows, on grassy rakes more or less the whole way to the ridge. From there it was an easy walk to the summit, offering sensational views. With the weather looking like it was closing in, I reluctantly decided not to go on to the Three Marias and took an easy line, following a sheeptrod to the col and then another easy ridgeline down to a hut in the valley below, the beginning of the track left earlier. The route took exactly 4 hours starting from the hotel at Balneario de Caldas. Sensational scenery. " — Earthdreamer • May 25, 2024

"Overnighter trip to Collado Jermoso Refugio. Amazing high mountain experience and views. I climbed Torre Jermoso which is a small peak by the refugio and just a short hike away is Torre Llaz which is another great little peak." — nandorszotak • Jun 11, 2023

"Finally some snow!
The plan was to tackle the highest peak around Madrid, Peñalara but the weather got really sucky. High winds, wet snow and everything turned into ice pretty quick. Without spikes we decided to turn back and hike instead to Laguna de Peñalara, which was a good option but visibility was the same as high up, zero.
It was a fun day out with the guys." — nandorszotak • Jan 15, 2023

"Nice tour, visiting movie sets "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, "like Betterville and Sad Hill. The scenery is extraordinary and worthwhile. Special care must be taken on the descent from San Carlos to Sad Hill, as the terrain is very steep." — drgrijando • Oct 11, 2020
