Montón de Trigo

[1] The silhouette of the peak, if viewed from the south, alludes to the name, as it resembles a traditional wheat heap, with a conical shape.

The climb begins on a path that leaves from the Fuenfría pass heading west along the eastern slope of Cerro Minguete.

There is also a peak with this name (Montón de Trigo) in the municipality of Llombai (Valencia province), with the difference that it is not a granitic relief but calcareous.

Montón de Trigo has been studied because it is an important source of knowledge about the past civilization that inhabited this place.

The research will be conducted under the supervision of PhD Arturo Ruiz Taboada and his team, with the participation of students from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
