Pēna Montenēsa.

The first part of the walk goes in the direction of the hamlet of Oncins. You pass an old washing place and follow ancient paths surrounded by walls. The special geology of this area will certainly catch your eye. The second part is mainly through forest with holm oaks and black pines. The route was set up to introduce you to the different species of birds of prey and vultures that soar along the flanks of the mountain in search of food. With a bit of luck you can spot the red wow, falcons, griffon vultures and sometimes the bearded vulture. At the intersection with the path that leads to the Canal Mayor, descend to the starting point.
