Information:


How to get there:
First, drive to the small town named Castelo Novo. This charming little town is located at N40.0777, W7.49407. If you find your way through very narrow streets to the upper end of this village, the hardest part is done. Continue to navigate along a pretty good dirt road until you reach location N40.06648, W7.51329. The road may be driven by ordinary cars. From this waypoint, a paved road heads uphill and serves the summit.

Route description:
From the end of the road, follow a small path to the huge summit marker, this is a one minute walk to bypass the fenced in antenna.
Comments:
I noted from a trip report by Rob W. that an asphalt road served the summit. However, a dirt road (but a smooth and good one!) must be driven from the small town of Castelo Novo to the location from where the final asphalt road begins. I had visited Torre earlier in the day, this final summit turned out to be easier than expected since I succeeded in finding the proper summit road.
