The Serena Reservoir is one of the largest reservoirs in Badajoz and where a road crosses it, skirting a mountain called Masatrigo. This is a curious passage through the swamp but beautiful for the views it offers.

View from Peñón del Pez

Highlight • Viewpoint

The climb to the top of the Rock is hard, long straights, and asphalt in poor condition, although on the other hand it offers good views.

Cerro Masatrigo has impressive views from Galizuela, where there is also a celestial viewpoint that shines at night.

Cerro Masatrigo is a hill located in the municipality of Esparragosa de Lares. This hill is known for its almost perfect conical shape, which has earned it the nickname "the magic mountain" It rises 501 meters above sea level and 161 meters above the surrounding terrain. After the construction of the La Serena Dam, Cerro Masatrigo became a peninsula surrounded by the waters of the reservoir.

Walk along the trail that leaves Galizuela to the Mirador Celeste de Galizuela overlooking the Embalse de la Serena and the beautifully symmetrical cone-shaped Masatrigo in the middle of the Reservoir.

Located in the middle of the La Serena Reservoir and at 501 meters above sea level, it offers us wonderful views at 360 degrees. The Masatrigo hill, for sure, will surprise us with its shape and its curious name. It is called this way because for many its shape is assimilated to a pile of wheat.

Located in the middle of the La Serena Reservoir, the Masatrigo hill stands out for its shape and its curious name. It is called this way because for many its shape is assimilated to a pile of wheat. In addition to its curiosities, the top of the hill is 480 meters above sea level and offers wonderful views in all directions.

The views from up here are truly amazing and a well-deserved reward for the effort to get here. The ascent has complicated sectors with technical difficulty but that can be overcome without problems, remember to go with a firm step and taking care of the loose rocks.
