Hiking Route El Pilarillo - Summit of Peñalta

This route leads us from the vicinity of the Pilarillo Forest House to the Peñalta summit. It is mostly a black pine pineapple pineapple, under which it grows a rugged little forest of oak, crocodits, junips, jars and aromatic plants such as rosemary, thyme and spice. The yellow piorno appears in the areas where the rock rises.

We will walk through a quiet forest track on a smooth rise to the southwest, then turn to the north-east with the largest slope. The last stretch, already by way of horseshoe, is made by a rocky and peeled environment typical of the high mountain of the Natural Park.

At the summit, which is the coronation of a sharp ballast, there is a fire surveillance shed. The park has a beautiful panoramic view of the mountains. To the north we see Benatae, Siles, the Cambrón Stone and the Almenaras peak, already in the Alcaraz saw, opening the panorama by the immensity of the plains of La Mancha. To the south stands the mole of El Yelmo, Segura de Sierra crowned by its castle and, at the bottom, the waters of the Tranco reservoir and the saws of Cazorla and Las Villas. And on the east, we look at the great following calares of Navalperal, El Espino and Cobos.

The fox, squirrel and boar are very abundant, and it is possible to contemplate mountain goats at the summit. Among the raptures are the pilgrim hawk, the leonate vulture and the seedling eagle, which every year arrives from Africa in spring to nesting in the area. As the afternoon falls, the ullar of the carb is heard in the depth of the forest.
