The ascent of Pinajarro is a good mountaineering option on a visit to this region in the north of Extremadura. C\u00e1ceres<\/a>brimming with history. If this is your first trip to the area, don't miss the chance to discover some of its treasures: the Jewish quarter of Herv\u00e1s, the Roman baths of Montemayor, the Roman V\u00eda de la Plata or Granadilla, an ancient walled town that was vacated in the mid-20th century for the construction of a reservoir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Pinajarro and the Ambroz valley:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

El Pinajarro is a mountain that enjoys a certain prestige among the mountains. Extremaduran<\/a>. Its position overlooking the Ambroz valley, rising 1500m above the historic town of Herv\u00e1s, gives it a leading role in the landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ambroz valley, with its mild climate in winter and the freshness of its rivers in summer, is an ideal place to visit at any time of the year, to stroll through the woods, to visit its villages, or to climb the Pinajarro, as on this occasion. However, if we have to choose a time of the year, we would choose the autumn<\/a>The chestnut forest is dressed in shades of ochre, yellow and brown and a multitude of activities are organised in the villages as part of the Oto\u00f1o M\u00e1gico cultural programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Route summary:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Circular route from Herv\u00e1s to Pinajarro Peak (2,099m)<\/strong>. Ascent via Collado Hondo, Prado de las Fuentes and Cerro Peramarza. Descent via the Tejer\u00f3n and the Chorrera de Herv\u00e1s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The route ascends taking advantage of the tracks in the lower part of the sierra, alternating with some stretches of path to the Prados de la Fuente. Once we have passed the forest line, a well-marked path through the pines will take us close to the ridge until we reach the summit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The way down is not suitable for everyone, but rather for almost no one. Although we will always have the option of going down the way we came up. From the summit to the Tejer\u00f3n and then to a track that comes from the Prado de las Fuentes, the path is non-existent and you have to fight your way through the piornos. After crossing the Pista Heidi, an unfrequented path descends to La Chorrera de Herv\u00e1s, which is one of the most beautiful and popular routes in the area, and along which we return to Herv\u00e1s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
