Peña de San Bernardo
Highlight • Viewpoint
It has a nice meadow to sit, rest and have a bite to eat and a drink either on the way up or down to Pico Ocejón.
The hikers, when they reach it, breathe, because they know that almost half of the route has already been done.

Ocejoncillo Summit
Highlight • Summit
It does not have a geodesic, but it has a very worthy marker of slates.
It also has a very old slate cabin where the ancients sheltered from the cold and winds.
From Ocejoncillo you can see extraordinarily beautiful landscapes.

Despeñalagua Waterfall
Highlight • Waterfall
The waterfall has a height of about 120 meters and flows throughout the year, especially during the thaw season. In winter, frost is often found, which adds a magical touch to the landscape. The route to visit the Chorreras de Despeñalagua is simple and suitable for the whole family. The path, approximately 4.5 km, offers spectacular views and allows you to explore the streets and buildings of Valverde de los Arroyos. Also, on the way to the town, you will pass through other charming black towns such as Palancares, Almiruete and Tamajón. Definitely a destination worth exploring! 😊
