This trail is part of the route that connected the coast with the Castilian meseta. There are several alternatives depending on the place you choose to start from. We recommend connecting the municipalities of Polaciones and Tudanca by starting in Pejanda and finishing in Tudanca, or viceversa. It’s a linear route and given its length and incline, we recommend taking two cars and leaving one at each point.

From Pejanda, follow the road to Callecedo, where you take the path that goes to the left towards Peña Sagra. You’ll climb uphill for 6 kilometers until you reach El Potro lookout point where your mouth will probably drop once you see the amazing panoramic views of La Cohilla Reservoir, Tudanca and mountains like La Concilla,  Peña Labra and Tres Mares Peak. The trail then goes downhill to a junction called Collado de Abeyán (it’s also known as  “Joza Abellán” or “Jozalabellán”). It forks into two paths that lead to San Sebastián de Garabadal and La Lastra. To continue the trail, take the path to La Lastra and from there, Tudanca.
