The Cuchillejo (934m)<\/strong> would hardly be a mountaineering objective of any kind, were it not for the fact that it is the provincial ceiling of Valladolid, and for that strange hobby that many of us have of collecting mountains and completing lists: the highest peak in each province<\/a>, the 217 pyrenean three-thousanders<\/a>The 100 most prominent mountains in the Iberian Peninsula, the \"100 cims\" of Catalonia, etc. All of them, an excuse to get to know nearby places that we would probably not go to otherwise.<\/font><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mountains, gastronomy, wine and culture<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are few excuses to visit this part of the province of Valladolid: good food, better wine and the nearby town of Pe\u00f1afiel, famous for its castle on the top of a hill and for its centre, declared a Historic-Artistic Site in 1999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the moment<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The climb to Cuchillejo has its charm and if you choose the right moment, it is quite pleasant along the route described here. The best time is at dawn, with the first light of dawn. Enjoy the sunrise, the barking of the roe deer - very abundant and easy to see in this area - and of course, avoid the hottest hours, as there is not a single shadow in this moorland to take shelter in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The climb, if done in the direction of travel described above, is very flat and, except for the first ramp, is ideal for running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
