Information:


How to get there:
First, drive to the small town named Dallas, located south of the mountain. Next, go to location N36.83348, W2.8663, Calle Real de Celin. This is the beginning of the mountain road.
Next, drive up this road, the quality was pretty good in 2024, a normal car can do it. There is one short section with hairpin turns, slightly steeper, but the road is good. Google may try to divert you onto some horrible short-cuts, ignore this! The road gets rougher (slightly) about 500 meter before it ends. One may decide to park and just walk this, a good spot for parking is at location N36.89515, W002.81706, elevation about 2020 meter.
Route::
Continue along the road until it ends. From here, follow various sections of paths between the (low) vegetation. There is no unique trail, but many smaller local variations all heading in the same general direction. You will soon arrive on top. There are some heaps of rocks marking the summit.
Comments:
I drove from our "base camp" in Granada and started walking at 1130. The hike was slightly less than 30 minutes. The weather was partly fog, partly some breaks in the low clouds around the local hills up here. I stayed a short time, then returned in about the same amount of time. Overall, a pretty long drive followed by a short hike.
