A good place to stop to rest a bit in the small rural town of Santiz is next to the Church of San Miguel Arcángel. There should be a water source nearby but check if it is drinkable or not.

Beautiful gravel path that skirts the ridge until reaching the highest point of the Teso Santo, where the communication antennas are located. The trail continues following the wind farms.

The ruins of Peñausende Castle rise high above the city, on a defensive rock outcrop. It is worth going up and around the castle for the stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
