22-2-2006. Crosses on hilltops are unresistable when you got the right genes switched on. From our hotel room this holy symbol lured us into the high mountains around Real de Catorce (2600m) in the Central Highlands of Mexico.
Of course perfect bright skies.
After passing through the old rooms and courts of the abandoned San Augustin convent we followed a nice donkey path on the grey bare mountain. We only encountered an, some fright provoking, sheppard and a lonely cowboy before we sat alongside the once thought unreachable cross. The serene view on Real was what we got.
A fine day with mild climbing. It took us a couple of hours to go up and 1,5 to go down along a barely marked path.
An easy trip. Rating: 3/5.
