Pico Sacro, Mountain summit in Boqueixón, Spain
Pico Sacro reaches an elevation of 533 meters above sea level, featuring a distinctive quartz composition that makes it visible from numerous locations in Galicia.
The medieval Castle of Pico Sacro, constructed near the summit in place of a small chapel, was destroyed during the Irmandiño revolts of the 15th century.
Local folklore describes a deep cave beneath the peak where a dragon guards an entrance to hell, connecting the mountain to ancient Galician mythology.
A marked hiking trail leads to the summit from Outeiro, covering 2.4 kilometers and requiring approximately 30 minutes to complete without water sources along the path.
The mountain contains a mysterious deep trench called Rúa da Raíña Lupa, measuring over 6 feet wide, with origins debated between natural formation and Roman mining activities.
