Hiking Route Aguascebas de Gil Cobo and subida al Blanquillo

Description

The wide road enters the San Ginés closed, parallel to the stream. The channel has been capriciously modeled by the action of water, giving rise to unique jumps and small water pods. Some sections are flanked by abrupt rocky brown. On its shores we find an exceptional vegetation with various endemic species, as well as tides, stalks and even some birches, a purely northern and very scarce tree in the Natural Park.

We continue as far as the track forks and follow our left, accompanied by magnificent pinars. The sinuous route of the road allows us a smooth rise to the Collado del Perenoso, where we have a spectacular view of this whole environment. This is the starting place towards the peak of the Blanquillo or Pedro Miguel.

The tour here has plenty of attractive to do, but if we want stronger emotions, we can ascend to this extraordinary summit. We take to our right a narrow path that runs through a soft hill between salgarean pines in its first stretch.

We continue along this path, through a small ledge that diagonally crosses a rocky wall, and with great caution we pass some sections that have some difficulty. We follow the path, passing a stream that descends from the summit, and we reach a small plain, which is named "La Carrasquilla," from where we see the dominant limestone mole, the modesty vegetation of the high mountain and the shaded pine trees that indicate the extreme weather conditions of this place.

From here we see the final section of this route. We will head towards a small hill and from there we follow the rope, where the arrival to the top is more serene. Once at the summit we have before us all the immensity and beauty of these unusual places.
