ソロサンチョ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ14

Small town that is located in what is called the Valle de Amblés and that is a few kilometers from its capital, Ávila. From the core, you can begin to see the first forms of the Sierra de Paramera and Gredos.

Mountain pass located in the center of the province of Ávila and which is 1,499 meters above sea level and connects the Amblés valley with San Juan del Olmo and the Muñico valley.

The Muñotello roll symbolizes the jurisdictional independence obtained by the town with respect to the Villatoro council in 1733, during the reign of Felipe V. The construction is made of carved granite, it is five meters high and represents the sovereignty of the town of Muñotello to administer Justice. The prisoners were tied to the stone pillory during the trial and depending on the sentence they were stoned to death or released.

The path runs along the slopes of the mountain range and descends to the spectacular pass of Portacho del Cuchillo, below the impressive mass of spurs, towers and channels of Peña Cabrera. At the pass you have to pass the gate of a livestock lane and go to the south slope. The path begins the descent directly through the head of the Cuchillo Ravine, passing at the foot of the striking Risco del Cuchillo boat, one of the most unique geological formations in the Zapatero massif.

The unique granite landscape is the result of the mineral composition, climatic changes and the weathering of the rock surfaces, giving rise to suggestive modeling forms. The most striking process is the slabs, the boats, the corridors and alleys and the granular disintegration, creating an authentic labyrinth of stone sculptures. To the west, at the headwaters of the Adaja River, the white reliefs of La Serrota emerge. The path follows the ridge and collides with the top pyramid of Zapatero in a clear hill where the ascent to the top begins on the southwest face. The ascent is marked with stone milestones. The ice and the amount of snow will determine the technical level of the ascent. First there is a rocky step to a wide and comfortable shoulder, where the final attack begins through a channel that leads to the access passage to the geodesic vertex through a kind of tunnel. The views from the top of the remaining section of the rope are breathtaking between large granite domes and giant speedboats, but it is actually easier than the previous section and almost all descent. The descent of the peak is along the east face, to a pass where the Path of Zapatero climbs from the left from Sotalvo.
