Bañuela

Bañuela or La Bañuela, also known as ''La Mójina'', is the highest peak of the Sierra Morena, Spain.

Description

The mountain is 1,332 m high and it is located in a range known as ''Sierra de Navalmanzano'', part of the Sierra Madrona range, at the southern end of Ciudad Real Province, Castile-La Mancha. It is mostly covered with '' matorral'' scrubland where plants such as '' Cistus, Erica'' and rosemary predominate.

There is a good hiking route to reach the peak starting from Fuencaliente, but there is no marked path to reach the peak after reaching a certain height. This makes it difficult to find the summit in misty weather. There is a triangulation pillar on the crest, but it is not exactly at the highest point, which is located nearby.Pico La Bañuela (1.333 m), Sierra Morena
