    Mountain biking

    Really such a top that stands out with over 1700 meters, offering a beautiful view all around.

    Not only does it give its name to the wonderful Natural Park, but its peak at 1,727 meters above sea level offers the best panoramic views in all directions. Right there, at the top, is the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Peña de Francia of the Dominican Order that is worth visiting. And of course, you cannot return without having taken the obligatory photos at the viewpoint and the Balcony of Santiago, two panoramic points par excellence.
    You can get here by several very picturesque paths and trails of varying difficulty.

    Undoubtedly the top to crown if you are in the area, not only does it give its name to the wonderful Natural Park, but at 1727 masl you will have the best panoramic views in all directions, the well-deserved reward for the physical effort to get here.
    It can be climbed through several alternative paths, some of great technical difficulty and with a lot of loose stone that I recommend to do on the way down. It is recommended to go up the track or road and enjoy the cool trialeras on the way down.
