In 2016, Montefrío received a very special award from National Geographics magazine: it is one of ten places with the best panoramic views in the world. Otherwise, only the Castillo is worth mentioning.

March 30, 2023,Montefrío: Arroyo de los Molinos (PR-A 246)

This route is the "pure" version of the Arroyo de los Molinos (PR-A 246) without detours. A beautiful path, but a lot of road and almost no shade. The best time to walk this path is in spring, as long as it's not too hot, but everything is green and blooming, or in winter, when the sun warms you up …

March 30, 2023,Montefrío: Arroyo de los Molinos - Ermita Calvario (PR-A 246)

This version of the PR-A 246 includes a few "extensions" to see all the wonderful things left and right of the trail, such as the Torre Atalaya de los Guzmanes, a beautiful waterfall and the ruins of the Ermita del Calvario. Without these, the path is only about 14 km long and has fewer meters in altitude.
