After a beautiful gravel climb, you reach this plateau with stunning views (including the Picos de Europa in the distance). The path then continues for a long time at altitude, with many cows and horses. Take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgEcgF17RDw

Indeed, a beautiful spot with breathtaking views, both towards the Picos de Europa and other Cantabrian mountains. The (gravel) road there is also stunning; just take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgEcgF17RDw

Beautiful meadow on a wide esplanade with wooden tables. From this point begins the long and hard climb to El Moral.
