Bearded vultures.
You start from the parking lot along a nice path that follows the course of the river Yaga. On the way you will pass the Ermita de San Lorenzo. At a junction, take the left path that leads to the two viewpoints. The viewpoint on the left offers a fantastic view of the Esquain gorge and that is where you have the best chance of vultures flying under you. The second viewpoint is more suitable for observing both griffon vultures and bearded vultures. The route returns to the intersection and here you take a path that rises sharply. Once you leave the forest you walk along the Cirque of Gurrundue. Along the way you have beautiful views of the entire area. Before you return to the starting point, you first walk through the nice hamlet of Revilla with its beautiful church.
