Thies Pegasus is engraved into the rocks, barely visible if you don't where to look. There is no sign or anything else to halp find it. A local who I met during the hike was nice enough to point it out to me, otherwise I woule never have seen it.

A sign has now been put up. Translated from Spanish it says:
PEGASUS
In the early 1950s, the sculptor Ribera, an artist who lived for a long time in Pilar de la Horadada and is closely associated with the municipality, made this Pegasus on the rock in the form of an incised relief. The Pegasus in Greek mythology is the horse of Zeus, the sovereign god of heaven and earth. As he flies, he moves his legs as if he were running through the air. Zeus turned it into a constellation so that it would be eternal. Pegasus has the power of knowledge and freedom. It is currently the symbol of poets and philosophers.
