To get to the Plaza Mayor, walk ahead and at a Y-junction turn right. (There is an information board here about the Calzada Romano.) Follow this street, Calle del Puerto, as it becomes Calle de la Iglesia and reaches the main square of San Martín de Trevejo.

To get back to the start point, walk down Calle el Concejo, turn right down Calle Cordero and turn left into Calle del Fuente, which becomes Calle Entrada al Fuente and goes straight back to the car parking area.

This walk is rewarded with amazing views in all directions from the summit. The first part of the ascent is through mature pine woods on an easy track; the next part is on a small footpath through low-growing flowering bushes and past rocky outcrops, the way marked with numerous cairns. A well for storing snow and ice is impressive but faintly derelict.
