Comments:
Heidi and I made a short detour when driving from Barcelona to Zaragoza in order to visit this peak. We parked at the main highway, I believed the route was a trail, but it turned out to be a road. It took us 30 minutes to reach the summit, followed by a 20 minute descent. A pleasant walk along a quiet dirt road with a nice flower border.
