Cruz de Hierro

hike | 2022-09-11
1662 m altitude, 361 m prominence, 33.32 km isolation

I already think that Le Serrota was the first and the last mountain of the day. I was wrong. As I drive towards Madrid, I notice another pretty hill with windmills. If there are windmills, there will be a road. And so it was that I drove up. I could go almost to the top, but I want to go for a walk. Leaving car at 40.7155, -4.456055 and walking on an unpaved road. A hundred meters before the summit, I turn straight across the meadow. There is a pile of rocks on the top, and the views are not bad. I take the same path back. OK, now it’s really the last mountain of the trip. Dinner with Rockinstraw and early flight home tomorrow.

I parked my car north of the summit and walked an unpaved road. The last few tenths of a metre up the grassy slope to the summit and the same path back

Difficulties

The road close to the end is bumpy but passable
