Pico Frentes, Mountain summit in Fuentetoba, Spain.
Pico Frentes is a summit in the Sierra de Cabrejas mountain range located in Soria province and rises to 1382 meters above sea level. The mountain features several hiking trails and climbing routes that pass through pine forests and rocky terrain.
The mountain's name dates back to the 12th century when King Alfonso VIII granted the surrounding forests to the city of Soria. This royal decision shaped the land's use and management for centuries afterward.
The peak draws local hikers who use it as a gathering point for outdoor adventures in the surrounding forests. It has inspired writers and remains woven into the region's storytelling traditions.
The summit is best reached via several marked hiking trails from central Soria that offer resting points along the way. Depending on the route chosen, the ascent typically takes between two and four hours and weather can change quickly at higher elevations.
Underground caves lie beneath the summit containing geological formations that attract researchers and explorers. The Golmayo River originates here and flows downstream to create dramatic waterfalls and canyons.
