La Palmitosa, Mina

Although this summit is located in the Sierra del Fraile, to reach the beginning of the village you have to go around the entire hill and then enter the car/van through a dirt road. Take the road to Monclova and shortly after passing the municipal seat of Mina, take the road to Icamole and shortly after (4.8 km) take a detour to the left. This road crosses some poultry farms and eventually reaches a crossroads; immediately after the tracks we will leave the road to take a dirt road to the hill. Depending on our vehicle, we can move forward on this path. While you can park from here, this would add more distance and complexity to our route.

At the beginning of the trail there are large, unvegetated areas where we can leave our vehicle

None, only transport ones. The roads are toll-free.

This route lacks signage and the path is confusing in many sections, as it is not very well defined. It is recommended to go with someone you already know or who has very good guidance and risk assessment skills.
