Camino de Peña Angulo

Introduction

Trapped between the Sierra de Carbonilla – the eastern foothills of the Montes de La Peña – and the ‘farallones’, craggy limestone heads, of the Sierra Salvada there lies spectacular countryside, almost untouched by human hand and blessed with a wild beauty which both distinguishes it and lends character to the collection of territories that make up the Valle de Mena.

This is the Valle de Angulo, a place surrounded by steep mountainsides and leafy beech woods, containing spectacular waterfalls and diverse habitats, and home to several small population nuclei where numerous examples of traditional architecture side by side with imposing medieval towers can be seen.

Technical Specifications

A description of the route

The route starts at the entrance to the village of Encima-Angulo, beside a walnut tree. Take the street that crosses the village in a south-east direction and comes out on the road that connects this village to Haedo.

Only a few metres from the church of Encima-Angulo, the first houses of Haedo begin and you can leave the road for a path on the left that leads down into the main village.

Continue on this path without deviating, and go through a metal barrier, closing it again before continuing along the path. On reaching a fork in the path, take the left-hand branch.

Continue on this path through a second barrier and then follow it round to the left to cross a small stream via a concrete bridge before continuing on the little path on the far side, parallel to the stream.

This path ends on reaching the river San Miguel from which point the first houses of the village of Las Fuentes can be seen. Cross this river into a field on its right and walk upwards to join a small path that gives access to Las Fuentes. From here return to Encima-Angulo on the road that connects the two villages.
