Crossroads in the heights: One track leads to Ezcaray. A path climbs to San Lorenzo. Another track descends to San Millán de la Cogolla. Another path disappears into the forest, with no exit. And a final track, heading south, soon forks into two: one leads to the Mansilla reservoir, and the other, also full of forks, takes us to Cruz de la Demanda. Choose your own adventure!

Nice climb to the Bonicaparra refuge. Riding at your own pace and enjoying the scenery is the best.

Asphalt forest track to the Bonicaparra refuge. A very nice climb, especially recommended in autumn when the beech forest is bursting with colour.

The "Rioja Escorial". A spectacular monastery in the middle of a valley at the foot of the roof of La Rioja, Mount San Lorenzo.

Good place to get water and recover since they have installed 2 benches and it is in a rather shady area.
