Peñalara

Esta entrada está especialmente dedicada a mi hermano mayor. Para que vea que de vez en cuando salimos al campo :) / This entry is specially dedicated to my older brother. To show him we go to the countryside from time to time :)


El pasado martes estuvimos de excursión. Si bien el objetivo era Cotos, para subir hasta la laguna de Peñalara, hicimos una parada inesperada en San Ildefonso para tomarnos un cafelito. Como ya somos chicos de ciudad, no nos orientamos ni con GPS, así que nos saltamos salida hacia Rascafría, con lo cual volvimos a bajar todo el monte que habíamos subido. Al menos el paseo es majo, por el bosque, con olor a pino... / We went to an excursion last thursday. Although our tarjet was Cotos, and then walking to the Peñalara lake, we had an unexpected stop in San Ildefonso to have a coffee. As we are city guys, we can not get our bearings anymore, not even qith a GPS, so we let away the road to Rascafría, so we went down all the mountain we had gone up again. At least the ride was nice, through the forest, with pine smell...

Pero finalmente lo conseguimos. Una vez allí, tomamos la ruta PR3, que es muy sencilla y lleva hasta la laguna (que ahora más bien es un charco). Hacía al menos doce años que no iba por allí. Ahora está todo más acotado y restringido, ya que están intentando recuperar el territorio natural. Ni siquiera te dejan acercarte a la laguna. Está vallada. for the last time. / But at last we did it. Once we were there, we took the PR3 walk, which is really simple and takes you to the lake (which nowadays is more a puddle than a lake). It was at least twelve years that I was there. Now everything is enclosed and sealed, because they are trying to recover natural lands. You are not even aloud to get close to the lake. It is fenced.
