A very demanding climb, almost 400 meters of elevation gain in less than 3 kilometers, with gradients of up to 22%. With good gearing, you can reach the top without much trouble (as it's partially paved), but it will require a lot of effort. The views, as you might expect, are splendid.

Despite its modest size, the "cortao" (a rock formation) offers a wide range of attractions. On the one hand, it is an ideal spot for sports such as climbing, abseiling, and hiking; on the other, it offers botanical and ornithological wonders. It is also of great historical importance, as remains dating back some 15,000 years have been discovered at the top of one of its slopes.
