    Mountain biking

    Really such a top that stands out with over 1700 meters, offering a beautiful view all around.

    It offers spectacular views over the Sierra de Francia, the Sierra de Béjar, the Campo Charro region, northern Cáceres, and even the Serra da Estrela in Portugal.
    You can drive up via the SA-203 road (from La Alberca or El Cabaco), although it is often closed due to snow in winter. There are also hiking trails, such as the GR-10, starting from La Alberca.

    Running

    Not only does it give its name to the wonderful Natural Park, but its peak at 1,727 meters above sea level offers the best panoramic views in all directions. Right there, at the top, is the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Peña de Francia of the Dominican Order that is worth visiting. And of course, you cannot return without having taken the obligatory photos at the viewpoint and the Balcony of Santiago, two panoramic points par excellence.
    You can get here by several very picturesque paths and trails of varying difficulty.
