A spectacular view at 1440m altitude and a 10°C difference compared to the lowlands in early December; an asphalt road all the way to the top, the last stretch being very narrow. We saw ibex at close range!

Penyagalera (1,036 m) is one of the most iconic mountains in the Puertos de Beceite mountain range, in the Matarraña region (Teruel). Its sharp silhouette and solitary position make it a spectacular natural viewpoint overlooking the Els Ports massif and the Ulldemó River valley.

Today we hiked the Penyagalera trail, which was fantastic. We started at P4, just as we were about to descend to the river and begin our ascent. Tip: wear gaiters because you have to put your feet in the river to cross, both on the way there and back on the other side (you exit at P8). Good endurance because it's all uphill until you reach the peak. It's cold at the top, so at least wear gloves. And enjoy the scenery.

Mount Caro peak at 1441m. A demanding climb with a reward for the good views and the satisfaction of having made a good climb.

From its top at 1035 masl you will have beautiful views of the entire Matarraña River valley, the town of Beceite and the north of Les Ports. A peak that deserves to be conquered on days with good visibility so that the panoramic views are your well-deserved reward. It can be reached from the town of Beceite along a path that is not technically very demanding, but you must go at a steady pace to enjoy the path.
