A day scrambling on the wonderful peak of PeΓ±on de la Mata north of Granada. The summit is surrounded by cliffs with only one hiking route to the top. Lots of possibilities for exploration.
I love scrambling, that grey area between hiking and rock climbing. Constant concentration and risk assessment means you aren't thinking at all about the mortgage π

The path ascends over the minor summit of Cerro del Sol and onto the first peak, Pico de la Carne (1809m). Although the hillsides here are steep, the path is well-graded and the summit is easily reached via a short easy scramble on the right of the summit rocks. The path continues to Cerro Gordo (1809m) which lies 1km away to the NE. The route to the reigning peak Cerro Huenes lies 1km to the NW.
