    Tips

    Hiking

    You can ascend from Béjar along the road, making stops at the Sagrado Corazón and Fuente del Lobo, to reach El Castañar.
    At the end of the path we find a great esplanade with picnic areas and fountains that is presided over by a huge granite cross and its viewpoint located on a rock.

    If you want to avoid the crowd, I recommend avoiding week ends or go early in the morning, as it is a very busy and well known spot (for good reason !)

    Running

    A very popular place in the area and with good reason it is. Next to the cross is the viewpoint that offers beautiful panoramic views of the entire Sierra de Béjar valley and the town below. A few meters away is the refuge and an area with tables to take a break and enjoy this wonderful place.
