ペナマコールのおすすめランニングルート

From the San Miguel Trail in the Sierra de Gata, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the village of Eljas, nestled high in the mountains, surrounded by nature and with a very distinctive profile of reddish roofs and steep streets.

The Hermitage of the Holy Spirit is a chapel located in Eljas. The Hermitage of the Holy Spirit occupies the central nave of what until 1977 was the parish church of Nuestra Señora de la Consolación. When they rebuilt the parish in 1935-1936, they included within their space the site of an old hermitage that, dedicated to the Holy Spirit, dated from the 16th century.

The Hermitage of the Holy Spirit is located next to the Castaño stream, 2.5 km from Valverde del Fresno. It is a small and simple Hermitage with beautiful mountains behind. The Camino del Espírita Santo, which reaches here, is usually a dry and dusty path surrounded by olive and holm oak trees.

This old bridge marks the beginning of the ascent to Valverde del Fresno. It is not a long or hard climb, but a steady climb until you reach the center.

Following this dusty road surrounded by olive and holm oak trees, you will arrive at the Ermita do Espíritu Santu, a small hermitage on the side of the Castaño stream.

The spectacular Penha Garcia Reservoir is situated naturally in a gorge surrounded by mountains in the valley of the Ponsul River. The town of Penha Garcia, located near the border with Spain, is an inspiring place, with a medieval castle and geologically interesting rock formations. There is a river beach fed by a small waterfall where you can enjoy a swim during the summer.

600m climb with panoramic views. A steady 4-5% without any major tough sections. Beautiful!
