Alt de Petillo & Mirador Pantano

This hulk of a mountain, towers over Orxeta. This is a circuit of its northern end, leading up to the summit and along to the mirador Pantano, then back over the summit and down the western flank. The terrain is very rugged and often steep. Some paths, especially on the descent are eroded and loose. The views from the approach are superb as are those from the Mirador Pantano.
