High mountain peak that is 1,855 meters high, located in the Sierra de la Demanda, right on the border between Castilla y León and La Rioja. A nice place to take a break and enjoy the natural beauty around you.

On the proposed route, it passes through an area that is usually visited by us and specifically from Fuentelsaz in Quintanar de la Sierra. From the southern area of the town we access by a dirt road approximately 8 kilometers to reach the beginning of the trail. It's a circular route of 9 km of moderate difficulty, not for being nothing dangerous but because of the distance and the unevenness until reaching Campiña, which is the highest area of the route; then the rest is descent. You have all the info at rutas.elvalledigital.es

It has been the end of a stage in the Vuelta a España on occasion. Mythical port of the Sierra de la Demanda with privileged views over the valley and the mountain ranges.
