It’s a simple walk that allows you to enjoy the Saja Besaya Natural Park at any time of the year. The beech forest that surrounds it makes it the perfect option for the hot summer days. While in autumn,  it transforms into a beautiful ochre-colored path.

After passing the park Research Center, you’ll find a parking lot where you can leave your car. About 200 meters up the road, there’s another road to the left that you should take. After about 3 kilometers, you’ll notice a sharp curve and that the path gains altitude. To the left there’s a trail that will lead you to your destination: the recreational area. It’s got picnic tables so it’s the perfect place to eat or rest. It’s a linear route, so take the same path back to return.

There’s a sign in the road that points to MINA LÁPIZ and interesting fact about it is that it’s a plumbago mine that was exploited in the 19^th century. This mineral is a graphite used to make pencil lead.
