La Sierra de la Demanda

El orgulloso Pico Urbión mira y contempla su privilegiado reino: el mayor pinar de la Península, las recónditas lagunas glaciares donde duermen leyendas de parricidios, misteriosas necrópolis en medio de las montañas, alocadas cascadas humedeciendo escondidos hayedos, perdidos valles de los que el ser humano ya se ha olvidado y fantasmagóricas esculturas de roca que cautivarán al caminante que aquí viene a soñar despierto.

El agua brota salvaje de los verticales paredones rocosos que ocultan, bien protegidos por la apretada sombra de dilatados y extraordinariamente bellos hayedos, el mundo mágico de las cuevas y txabolas que han cobijado a carboneros y pastores desde la historia, cuando concebían dólmenes y menhires bajo la aguda mirada de las águilas reales y los quebrantahuesos. Una apasionante mezcla de deliciosa riqueza natural y interesantísima huella humana que cautivará profundamente al viajeroen las cuatro estaciones.
