Sierra de Montánchez (Cáceres). Circular route through El Castañar and Garganta de los Molinos.

Circular route from Montanchez in which we will visit its famous chestnut grove and the Garganta de los Molinos. The route starts by following the local path of the "De donde nace" route, which coincides with the Ruta del Castañar, to leave it after 45 minutes in Roblegordo and descend in search of the "Camino de las Vaquerizas" and then to the Garganta de los Molinos. We will return via this gorge and through the lower part of the chestnut grove, the part we had missed on the way out.

Circular from the Monastery of Montserrat to Sant Jeroni and the Albarda Castellana

If you didn't know the mountain of Montserrat and you had to start with an impressive route, this would be the one. From the famous monastery you can climb Sant Jeroni, with its 1236 metres, the summit of this imposing massif. You will pass by five hermitages, among them the photogenic Sant Onofre and below the emblematic spire of the "Cavall Bernat". If you like adventure, you also have the option of climbing the Albarda Castellana, with its small rocky pass, its two sections equipped with ropes and its fabulous views. Are you up for it?
