This route, which is of particular geological interest, will take you to the “La Muela” beauty spot, where you will be able to enjoys the views of the two granite mountain peaks, named the “Dos Hermanitos” (Two brothers). Here, you will be able to make out the Hoya Moros valley, which is of glacial origin.

The route begins by car, from the “Humilladero” square in Candelario, which after a 6.8 kilometre journey, you will leave in the area which gives this route its name; “Fuentesanta” - literally the Saint’s fountain. Once ready for the trek, you will begin the walk, which is suitable all year round, with a gentle ascent along a path lined with a Scots pine forest, known for their typical salmon colour.

As you continue, without deviating from the road or the main trail, you will notice heather and broom shrubs, replacing some of the pine trees. These plants will indicate that you are climbing, increasing in altitude to reach your destination (at 1626 metres high). Along the way, you will notice different burnt areas, which has been done to break the continuity of the pine, so that in the case of a wildfire, it would not spread as far. When you have walked about 3 kilometres, you will arrive at a zone where you can take a break, to build up strength and enjoy the views and the pine trees around you.

Once you’ve rebuilt the strength needed to complete this route, 1500 metres remain from the rest area to reach “La Muela”, which you will discover after turning right onto a large track, made as a firewall. At the end of this path, you will see big rocks which define this spot. At this point, you will need to protect yourself from the sun and you will be likely to need a windbreaker to protect you from the wind at this altitude, although this will all depend on the time of year when you do this hike. Then on the granite rocks, you will be able to take in the splendour of the Ambroz and Candelario valleys, including the Navamuño reservoir.

If you don’t want to return the same way you came, you can make this a circular route, although this alternative option isn’t signposted and the path is rocky, so your feet will suffer more than they did along the other path (if you choose to walk this way, the distance from the end of the route until the car is 4800 metres).
