Fuente Dè

We were here last year just to do the cable car ride. It left us with a desire to return to do more walking in the area. We arrived too late to do any walking that day and besides the top cablecar station was in the clouds. The following day's weather forecast looked good so we stopped the night in the campsite El Redondo, a quirky little site, but very welcoming. We met a young couple from Bristol with a young girl toddler, we were to bump into them on several occasions the following day.
Up reasonable early in the morning to move the van off the campsite and onto the carpark for the Cable Car, Telefèrico in Spanish. We decided to travel up the cable car and walk the PN PR 24 route back the the carpark. We survived the cable car trip without having to climb out and use a belt to slide down the cable to safety or jump from one car to the next. The walk was spectacular, the views of the rugged mountain peaks contrasting with the lush meadows with grazing cattle and snow left over from the previous winter. The walking is downhill on a gentle slope at first. The last 7 km are not so good, through woodland, which is pleasant for the shade but no views and the path rises and falls a little too often for comfort, very tiring.
Overall a very good day, 16 km walked in 5 hours, lunch stop half way. Thoroughly recommended.
