Wow! What a cache. A few things though... make sure you don't miss the side-road as mentioned a few logs back, and don't take little children with you on this trip. I spent a long time searching for the cache, because the coordinates for me were about 12 meters off the real position (N36°28.532 W5°16.880), which makes for a big difference here. Let me just tell you that it's really necessary to get to the real top of this mountain, and approach that last obstacle from the right-hand side. It's really a terrific last 1 km, and although personally I was too frightened by one of the previous posts (so left the car at Laura") it is perfectly possible to go up until the entrance of the actual natural park by car. The last few hundred meters are really a struggle, but the view from the top is really astonishing. My highlight were the 2 wild deer is spotted though (see picture). The logbook was really soaked I'm afraid, so I wrote down my log on a piece of paper I had with me and left a part of the little notebook for the next people. So this really needs maintenance.

Did this with GeoRams. The road was very muddy the car thought it was taking part in the RAC rally. To say it was a hard climb up the final leg is an under statement to say the least! Fantastic views made it worthwhile though. TNLN. TFTC.

Wow!
We found the "Laura" (N36 26.806 W5 16.382) and had a quick look at the road and decided to go for it. Not too bad in hired Ford Focus but it was quite muddy in places. Parked where the gate crosses what becomes the footpath (N36 28.336 W5 16.243).
Walked too far initially and realised were walking away from cache. Doubled back and found correct side path at (N36 28.395 W5 16.450) .
Not bad at first but then it got steep. Useful small cairns of stones marked the way. The last 200 feet were tiring!
Eagles above us were magestic and the views were awesome.
Finally got to the top and cache soon found. The log is damp but we managed to sign a few pages in where it was drier. Then took photos and then made our way down as it spotted with rain. Nice rainbow. A very exhausting cache but the view made it all worthwhile.

This is one of the nicest caches we have visited. What a fantastic view. On the top we waited for a while before searching, because a lot of people were around. After half an hour they asked us if we were looking for a cache. So they were geocachers too. This doesn´t happen very often. A pity that the picture of this cache is not the right one.
