Shelter with roof, room, porch and fireplace, very well located 2km from Checa along a narrow road with little traffic and fairy tale landscapes, good coverage, a couple of fountains between Checa and the shelter, in the same area there is a fountain that depends of the drought or richness of the mountains.

For us, this was the most beautiful place to stay overnight on the Montañas Vacías circuit! Even though we had minus 2 degrees and fog in the morning - mid-May :)
