Everything is dark, but insistent sound is determined to get me out of my dream. I open my eyes and just goes clear through the cracks of the shutter, the moment I realize that sound is the alarm clock and will be seven in the morning.
is Sunday and we have free (surprise surprise) so let's get on the saw to jump a little between rocks and snow. But hey, no need to run, so as is normal, we give you ten more Minutillo margin. At the end of the prospect we have of the day is very good, we went to bed to prepare. Light breakfast and getting things finished. Almudena
received as a birthday gift a pair of hiking boots, some with a pint Chiruca phenomenal. And you do not see the time coming out.
traffic is more than poor, especially coming to Collado Villalba, where we took the exit to get to the port of Navacerrada. Reaching Preserves, parked as usual in front of the Sale Marcelino, I prop my boots and pick the team. And up. Although we have some great days and heat, here's fog and the temperature is five degrees positive. We cherish a little with the hope that as we gain altitude we exceed the fog and the sun hot. We had a moment
information center to leave us a plane, and warn us so that we care especially in fog. Anyway, the path is known and we have the "Garmin" and we do not see the problem. The truth is that in the mountains and over the snowy ground, the fog is an element of respect.
We took the route that leads from the shed on your right towards the stream of Peñalara. The mist gives an almost ghostly to the path and not let us see almost nothing about. We are glad to wake up early because we only met a mountaineer, we forward apace.
The route is only known so I will not expound on describing how to follow it. Just stop to rest and pace that we is very good, until I take photos up to not to too. Almu is delighted with his new boots and slowly left the wooded area we crossed the bridge over the creek and climb Peñalara up the hill. The views are spectacular, the combination of granite and snow is beautiful. We welcome and allow us the luxury to stop a while to enjoy the views.
The next step is to border the area of \u200b\u200bspecial protection of species, small glacial lakes that are subject to native fauna. We try to respect fully the marked path, but in areas with more snow we would get closer to the shore to shoot some photos than others.
cross the lagoon area gaining height gradually up to the circus and is a joy. First we are, we see only a mountaineer who is walking towards the lagoon of carnations, the fog has been in the valley and have a sunny view of Peñalara leaves us speechless and we still have the best route forward.
We walked across the snow, avoiding areas where melting is occurring not to screw it up (literally) and we are gradually reaching the lagoon birds.
overboard with care after taking a photo and decide follow the rope to the Risco of the Carnations. But we have no crampons or snow equipment or anything, so to avoid a shock, we decided to sit in the sun to watch the circus taking a snack.
Slowly starting to reach people and more people and break a little magic. So after a rest we decided to return to the car, we've been eating and do not want to be late for lunch ahead.
So piano, piano we get into the fog, Geppetto gets a little crazy and confuses me a few minutes, but hey, the logic returns to empower me and take the good route to Dos Hermanas.
We met each time with more people, and the most diverse. Mountaineers equipped to the last breath from the effort of walking (ballooners we say in cycling) and people who go to dress shoes, awesome. We
the car a little tired but happy as partridges, I think we deserved a meal at The Ivy in Los Molinos.
repeat, for sure. PD
allusions here I save my sunburned face that I had for lunch and desktops.
Almu PPD is a champion.
