To reach (3), the route follows a path that is not marked on maps. The same applies to the descent after (4).
Pico de las Nieves
Circular starting from the Llanos de la Pez car park. This car park is very easy to access and has plenty of parking spaces, picnic tables, barbecues, water taps and toilets. It is the starting point for many hikes. This circular loop allows you to visit the Mirador del Pico de los Pozos de las Nieves and descend directly back to the car park. You can either follow the attached route or make a return trip. The path is shaded (in the pine forest) and offers a few viewpoints before the spectacular Mirador. Be sure to wear good shoes as the terrain is not easy (fine soil, rocks, pine needles) and slippery in places, especially on the descent.
